Smart Secrets of Great Paintings - Season 1 Episode 3 Bathers at Asniers (1884) by Georges Seurat
At the end of the 19th century, Asnieres resembled a seaside resort. The cheering crowd that came to attend the regattas animated the banks of the Seine, and the rowing club was always full.

Determined that art should not remain left out of these drastic changes underway, he invented pointillism.
