Waterloo Bridge 1906

André Derain's "Waterloo Bridge" (1906) is a vibrant depiction of the famous London landmark. The painting, now housed in the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum, Madrid, utilizes Fauvist techniques characterized by bold colors and simplified forms. Derain's brushstrokes are visible, creating a textured surface that evokes the movement of the river Thames. The luminous sky, with its vibrant pink and yellow hues, contrasts dramatically with the cool blue of the bridge and water, capturing the essence of a London sunset.
