A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte Coloring Page

Georges Seurat spent about two years on this painting of people relaxing on an island in the River Seine, near Paris. He painted it with thousands of tiny dots of colour placed side by side. Up close you just see dots, but from across the room your eyes blend them into grass, water and sunlight. The style is called pointillism.

The painting is huge, about 2 metres tall and 3 metres wide, and it hangs in the Art Institute of Chicago. Look for the dogs, the boats on the river, and the pet monkey on a leash at the woman's feet.
