The artwork, titled “The Park of Saint-Cloud,” is an oil painting on canvas created by Raoul Dufy in 1919. This piece belongs to the Naïve Art (Primitivism) movement and measures 72 x 60 cm. It is categorized under the genre of cityscape, reflecting urban scenery through the artist’s unique style.
In the artwork, vibrant colors and gestural brushstrokes depict a lively and somewhat whimsical view of the Park of Saint-Cloud. The composition includes a pathway leading through a garden adorned with statues and lush greenery, drawing the viewer’s eye towards the cityscape in the background. The skyline features a variety of buildings, rendered in a simplified manner consistent with the Naïve Art style. The sky is an interplay of blues and grays, suggesting a moody or overcast atmosphere. The foliage and architectural elements are rendered with expressive lines, contributing to the overall animated and slightly dreamy quality of the scene.
