The artwork titled “Landscape of Falaise,” created by Raoul Dufy in 1910, is an oil on canvas painting belonging to the Cubism art movement. Measuring 46 by 38 cm, this landscape genre piece is housed in a private collection.
The painting portrays a vibrant, structured landscape scene characterized by bold, angular shapes and an interplay of colors that reflect the Cubist style. Trees with elongated branches frame the composition, creating a sense of depth and perspective. The buildings and pathways are rendered in geometric forms with red, yellow, and green hues dominating the palette.

Dufy’s utilization of color and form conveys a harmonious yet complex representation of the natural and built environment.
