View of Le Crotoy, from Upstream 1889

Georges Seurat's "View of Le Crotoy, from Upstream" (1889) is a pointillist painting depicting a picturesque view of the French town of Le Crotoy. Seurat, a pioneer of Pointillism, employed small dots of color to create the image, resulting in a shimmering, light-filled composition. The painting showcases Seurat's meticulous technique, where the juxtaposition of colored dots, based on scientific principles of color theory, creates a vibrant and harmonious visual experience. The work is a testament to Seurat's mastery of pointillism, capturing the subtle nuances of light and color in the landscape.
