The English yacht 1906

"The English Yacht" is a 1906 painting by Raoul Dufy, a French Fauvist artist. Dufy's use of bright colors, simplified forms and bold brushstrokes are characteristic of the Fauvist movement, which emerged in the early 20th century. The painting depicts a white yacht with multiple flags, likely signaling its national origin, against a backdrop of a harbor with buildings. The scene captures the excitement of a nautical event and the joy of a summer day, highlighting Dufy's ability to capture the essence of a moment in a vibrant and expressive way.
