''A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte'' (French: ''Un dimanche après-midi à l'Île de la Grande Jatte'') is one of Georges Seurat's most famous works, and is a leading example of pointillism, a technique of painting in which small, distinct dots of color are applied in patterns to form an image. Created over two years from 1884 to 1886, this masterpiece of Post-Impressionism measures approximately 2 by 3 meters (6 ft 10 in x 10 ft 1 in). It is housed in the Art Institute of Chicago.

Seurat's work is more than just a depiction of a leisurely scene on the banks of the Seine River in Paris; it is a carefully structured composition with a complex use of color and form. The painting's theme reflects the burgeoning middle class who spent their leisure time away from the city to enjoy the suburban landscapes. Seurat employed a technique known as Divisionism (also known as Chromoluminarism), which is closely related to Pointillism. While Pointillism is often used to describe such works, Divisionism is more concerned with color theory, and Seurat's intent was to create a harmony and purity in his work through the process of optical mixture.

Seurat's focus on the study of color theory and the science of optics set his work apart from his Impressionist contemporaries. He believed that this scientific approach would make the colors more brilliant and powerful than standard brush strokes. The painting is notable for its contoured forms, which create a sense of volume and solidity in the figures, and the use of light, which gives the scene a shimmering, almost dreamlike quality.

''A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte'' is a pivotal work in art history, representing a moment of transition from Impressionism to the various strands of modern art, including Neo-Impressionism, Cubism, and Fauvism. It has been featured in various media and popular culture, including the musical ''Sunday in the Park with George'' by Stephen Sondheim. The painting remains one of the most recognized and admired works of the 19th century, encapsulating the essence of an era in Parisian life with its innovative technique and enduring charm.
