Amphitrite 1936

"Amphitrite" (1936) by Raoul Dufy showcases the artist's signature Fauvist style through a vibrant and expressive use of color. The composition centers on a female figure representing the Greek goddess Amphitrite, wife of Poseidon, holding a conch shell. The background is a playful depiction of the sea, boats, and coastal scenes rendered in bold strokes and flattened forms, characteristic of Dufy's artistic approach. The artwork is a testament to Dufy's fascination with the sea and his ability to capture the vibrancy of nature through abstract forms.
