Window, Cour de Rohan 1951

"Window, Cour de Rohan" is a 1951 painting by Balthus. The painting depicts the view from a window in an apartment in Paris, with a still life of a bottle and a pitcher on a small table in the foreground. Known for his dreamlike and often ambiguous imagery, Balthus's work often explores themes of solitude and isolation. Balthus, a Polish-French painter, is known for his distinctive style, characterized by meticulous detail and a sense of quiet contemplation. This particular work, now on display at the Centre Pompidou in Paris, is a quintessential example of his signature style.
