Achille Laugé was a French painter who was active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He is known for his association with the Pointillist movement, which was a style of painting that emerged in the 1880s and was characterized by the use of small, distinct dots of color applied in patterns to create the impression of a larger image. Laugé was a member of the Société des Artistes Indépendants, a group of French artists who were associated with the Pointillist movement. Some of his notable works include "The Garden of Earthly Delights," "The Red House," and "The Blue House."

Georges Pierre Seurat (1859 – 1891) was a French Post-Impressionist painter and draftsman. He is noted for his innovative use of drawing media and for devising the technique of painting known as pointillism. His large-scale work A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte (1884–1886) altered the direction of modern art by initiating Neo-impressionism. It is one of the icons of late 19th-century painting.

Seurat’s color system — pointillism — involved dividing colors into their component parts and applying those colors to the canvas in tiny dots. The forms become comprehensible only from a distance.
