Sunday Afternoon on the Grande Jatte

This is a wonderful example of pointillism – note the dots and tiny brushstrokes. The reproductions look the same way and although they are time consuming to do the results are worth it
The painting can be seen at the Art Institute of Chicago, and features in the classic film Ferris Bueller’s Day Off
The painting is important artistically, full of detail, and heavily influenced by scientific research of the time – “Some say they see poetry in my paintings,” Seurat said, “I see only science.”
