Louis Hayet was a Neo-Impressionist painter born in Pontoise, France to a poor family. He began to show talent in the arts at the age of 12, and as a young man he was able to see the country and work with his father, a traveling salesman.

By the time he was 20, Hayet had already established himself as a painter, working alongside Signac, Seurat and Pissaro. He was a Divisionist and like his fellow painters experimented with Pointillism, as well as light and color theories.

Hayet broke away from the Divisionsists by 1890 and returned to a more traditional style.

Towards the end of his life, Hayet devoted himself to studying colors and their properties using scientific research.

It is known that he created nearly 500 small paintings, measuring less than 20×25 inches, which is somewhat unusual for an artist to do. Hayet also had a decorative signature which he would sometimes incorporate on the front of his paintings in red script.

Although he is not as well known as his former Divisionist friends, Hayet is regarded as one of the most important painters of the Neo-Impressionist movement. Today his work is housed all over Europe, and perhaps in your own home.
