An  innovative painting technique developed in the late 19th century, this style represents a unique approach to color and composition. Artists used small, distinct dots  of pure color, which blended optically when viewed from a distance. This  method required immense patience and precision, as the placement of each dot  was crucial to the overall effect. Pointillism emerged during the  Post-Impressionist period, as artists sought new ways to express light and  atmosphere. By relying on scientific principles of color theory, this  technique produced vibrant, dynamic images that continue to captivate viewers  with their meticulous beauty.
