The Pantheon and St. Etienne-du-Mont 1904

Raoul Dufy's "The Pantheon and St. Etienne-du-Mont" (1904) is a vibrant depiction of two famous Parisian landmarks. The artwork captures the architectural details of the Pantheon and St. Etienne-du-Mont, contrasting the grandeur of the Pantheon with the more intricate details of the church. Dufy's signature use of bold colors and simplified forms imbues the scene with a sense of movement and energy, characteristic of his Fauvist style. The painting's composition, with its diagonal street receding into the distance, creates a dynamic perspective, drawing the viewer's eye through the scene.
