Paris's Musée d'Orsay holds 22 works by Georges Seurat (1859–1891) — the city's entire known holding of this artist in a single institution.

Seurat invented Pointillism — a rigorously scientific technique of applying thousands of tiny dots of pure colour to create form and light. He died at just 31, leaving a small but revolutionary body of work. A Sunday on La Grande Jatte, at the Art Institute of Chicago, is his masterpiece.
