Les régates de Nice 1921

"Les Régates de Nice" (1921) by Henri Matisse depicts a woman standing near an open window overlooking a bustling scene of boats and a sunny seascape. The interior of the room is painted in Matisse’s characteristic bold colors and simplified forms, with a checkered floor, striped tablecloths, and a vase of flowers. The vibrant palette and expressive brushstrokes, typical of Matisse’s Fauvist style, create a sense of energy and life. The painting is a snapshot of a moment in time, capturing the beauty and energy of the French Riviera.
