專家說明

Fanny Guillon-Laffaille has confirmed the authenticity of this work.

Executed in 1936 from the south side of the river Seine, Vue de Paris is a faithful map view focusing on the most famous architectural icons of the capital city. The Eiffel Tower, is of course easily recognizable in the middle right of the composition, and from left to right: the Arc de Triomphe, the Grand Palais, Place de la Concorde, The Sacré-Coeur, the Opéra Garnier, The Pantheon and Notre-Dame-de Paris, amongst others. In the foreground of the composition, Dufy skilfully uses the arrangement of flowers to create an illusion that the spectator is enjoying this wonderful view, with the artist, from their fantasy balcony.
