The artwork, titled “Villerville” and created by Raoul Dufy, belongs to the Naïve Art (Primitivism) movement and is categorized under the landscape genre.
The artwork exudes a sense of serene beauty with its vibrant colors and organic forms. A panoramic view of a coastal village comes to life, featuring lush greenery and a distant blue sea with sailboats dotting the horizon. In the foreground, an array of vividly colored trees and plants frame the scene, leading the viewer’s eye to a striking red house on the right. The winding path and gently curving road create a fluid motion throughout the composition, evoking a sense of tranquility and harmony. The piece is characterized by playful, almost child-like brushstrokes that are typical of the Naïve Art style, adding a whimsical and endearing quality to the landscape.
