A Horse in Marseille 1916

"A Horse in Marseille" (1916) by Albert Marquet depicts the bustling waterfront of Marseille, France. The painting showcases the city's iconic architecture, including the hilltop Notre-Dame de la Garde, and the port, with its distinctive buildings, a tugboat, and a horse-drawn cart. Marquet, a prominent member of the Fauvist movement, employed bold brushstrokes and vibrant colors, particularly in the depiction of the sky and water, to capture the lively atmosphere of the scene.
