The Fortress in Collioure 1926

"The Fortress in Collioure" (1926) by Danish artist Marius Hammann (1879-1936) is an oil painting depicting a simplified landscape in a style that is often characterized as Post-Impressionism, with a focus on the geometric shapes and interplay of light and shadow. The piece, now housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, showcases Hammann's fascination with the architecture and atmosphere of Collioure, a town in southern France that was a popular destination for artists of the time. The painting's muted color palette and strong brushstrokes contribute to its sense of depth and dimension.
