喬治·修拉曾在巴黎美術學院學習，他是個守紀律的、學究式的學生。作為一位繪畫大師，他研習過安格佴的素描並通曉謝夫勒爾論色彩的著作。他致力於追求繪畫中的秩序，並逐步形成了自己以分色主義著稱的色彩理論。這種理論的要旨在於將眾多細小的色點兒直接塗在畫布上，由眼睛將它們混合，而不是在調色板上將它們混合。這是一種後來又被稱為點彩畫法的方法。在他的第一件重要作品《阿涅爾的浴者》中，最初並沒有顯示出來多少新技術。然而，3年之後修拉部分重畫了這幅畫，修改了諸如浴者的橙色帽子和部分水面等細節。此畫是仔細策劃的結果，他曾用色分和油畫顏料打過20多幅底稿。修拉對老百姓悠閒狀態的觀察當時被認為是顛覆性的，於是這幅畫遭到沙龍的拒絕。與印象主義者旨在捕捉搖曳閃爍的光線不同，修拉的目標在於把握穩定的、幾乎是凝固的特製，這促使人們將他與普桑和皮羅·德拉·弗蘭切斯卡這類大師相對照。

種類
Georges Seurat studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts where he was a disciplined and academic student. A master draughtsman, he studied Ingres's drawings and familiarized himself with Chevreul's book on color. Dedicated to the pursuit of order in painting, he evolved his own colour theory known as Divisionism. This involved applying a multitude of tiny dots of colour directly on to the canvas, to be `mixed by the eye rather than on the palette. It was a method that also because known as Pointillism. In his first major work, Bathers at Asnières, there was initially little evidence of his new technique. However, Seurat reworked parts of it three years later, modifying details such as the bather's orange hat and areas of water. The painting is the result of caerful planning--he made over twentuy preparatory studies in pastel and in oil. His observation of ordinary people relaxing was considered subversivein its day and the canvas was rejected by the Salon. Unlike the Impressionists, who aimed to capture the flickering movement of light, Seurat aimed for a static, almost frozen quality, which has prompted comparisons with great masters such as Poussin and Pero della Francesca.
