Delphi 1956

"Delphi" is a watercolor painting by Swiss artist Samuel Buri, completed in 1956. The work features a landscape composition characterized by vibrant, expressive brushstrokes. The foreground showcases a pair of classical columns, suggesting a historical site, possibly the ancient oracle of Delphi. The background is dominated by a towering cliff and a dense forest rendered with bold, colorful strokes. The artist's use of vivid hues, particularly the bright blue and yellow, creates a dynamic sense of space and light. Buri's "Delphi" embodies the expressive landscape style of mid-20th-century Swiss art, capturing a scene imbued with historical and natural significance.
