About the piece
Painted in 1911, 'La Ville de Paris' captures Robert Delaunay's transition into Orphism, where light and color become the primary subjects. This monumental work harmonizes the classical motif of the Three Graces with the modernity of the Eiffel Tower, rendered in a dynamic, kaleidoscopic array of fractured planes and vibrant hues.
