Portrait of Mme. Matisse 1913

Henri Matisse's "Portrait of Mme. Matisse" (1913) depicts his wife, Amelie, in a simplified and stylized manner. The painting, characterized by bold, flat colors and simplified forms, is a prime example of Matisse's Fauvist style. The portrait's emphasis on color and design over realistic representation showcases Matisse's exploration of pure color and his influence on modern art. The painting is housed in the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg, Russia.
