Seurat pioneered the pointillist technique that van Rysselberghe directly adopted, and his iconic bathing scenes such as Bathers at Asnières share the same preoccupation with figures in leisure settings rendered through carefully placed dots of color to capture luminous light effects.

Signac was a central figure of Neo-Impressionism and a close collaborator of van Rysselberghe, producing coastal and maritime scenes using the same divisionist dot technique to achieve vibrant, sun-drenched color harmonies along Mediterranean and Atlantic shorelines.

Cross painted luminous coastal bathing scenes using a pointillist and divisionist approach, depicting nude and clothed figures by sun-lit seashores with bold, mosaic-like strokes of pure color that closely parallel van Rysselberghe's treatment of light, water, and the human figure outdoors.
