Georges Seurat was a French post-Impressionist artist best known for devising the painting technique pointillism. ‘A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte’ is Seurat’s most famous work. Executed on a large canvas using his pointillist technique the artist depicted a number of Parisians at a park on the banks of the River Seine. The painting is considered the founding work of the neo-impressionist movement. Made in the UK by King & Mc. Gaw. Archival inkjet print with acid-free mount, responsibly sourced solid wood frame and UV protective glaze. Exemplifies Seurat’s pointillism and the birth of Neo-Impressionism.
Our Stylist Says
This print of Seurat’s "Sunday Afternoon on the Island" is a wonderful addition to both contemporary and classic interiors, thanks to its iconic pointillist style and lively colour palette. I love how it offers a touch of art historical significance while also adding a playful, relaxed vibe to a space. It works particularly well in living rooms or bedrooms where you want to create a calm yet engaging atmosphere. For styling, try pairing it with simple, modern furniture to let the artwork be the centrepiece, and consider using neutral or pastel accessories to complement the colours in the print. A sleek wooden or metal frame will enhance its timeless appeal, making it suited for a variety of decor schemes.

About Heal's
A Rich Legacy in Furniture Design
Heal's is a well-known British furniture store with a history that spans over 200 years. It began in 1810 when John Harris Heal and his son started a business for feather products but soon moved into furniture.
By the 1900s, almost everyone in London knew Heal's for its great furniture. Interestingly, they were also among the first to sell electric lights in Britain. During World War II, their main store even helped by making parachutes for soldiers.
Influences and Design Philosophy
A significant part of Heal's story is Sir Ambrose Heal, who worked there for 60 years, from 1893 to 1953. He had a unique idea combine the beautiful designs from the Arts and Crafts Movement with affordable manufacturing.
This meant more people could buy well-designed furniture without breaking the bank. If you visit the Heal's store on Tottenham Court Road in London, you'll see a cool spiral staircase and a statue of a bronze cat, both of which show off the company's unique style.
Modern Expansion and Growth
While Heal's has a long history, they're always looking forward. In 2001, a company named Wittington Investments bought Heal's, helping it to grow and open stores in many cities, including Manchester and Leeds.
They've also started selling products online, aiming to be a modern e-commerce store with physical showrooms. Their main Tottenham Court Road store celebrated 200 years in 2018. Recently, they revamped it, making it even better for shoppers.
