Paris, La Seine 1967

Polish painter Włodzimierz Zakrzewski's 1967 oil on canvas, "Paris, La Seine," depicts a view of the Seine River in Paris. The painting, characteristic of Zakrzewski's style, features thick brushstrokes and a muted color palette, creating a sense of atmosphere and movement. The foreground is dominated by bare trees, their branches reaching towards the river, while buildings line the far bank, giving a sense of the city's presence. The water itself is rendered with a loose, expressive touch, suggesting the dynamism of the flowing river. This work showcases Zakrzewski's ability to capture the essence of a place through a uniquely personal and expressive style.
