For Auderghem 1923

"For Auderghem" (1923) by Paul Delvaux depicts a quiet suburban scene in Belgium. This oil painting captures the serenity of a street under a railway bridge. The muted palette and the hazy atmosphere, characteristic of Delvaux's style, create a sense of mystery and introspection. The composition is simple yet effective, with the bridge acting as a central focal point. The houses in the background appear almost ghostly, adding to the overall sense of tranquility. The painting's subject matter, with its emphasis on architecture and ordinary urban life, is typical of Delvaux's early period, which often featured the architecture of his hometown, Brussels.
