About the piece

Created in 1909, Robert Delaunay's "Saint-Séverin No. 2" marks a pivotal transition toward modern abstraction. The artist uses rhythmic, curving lines and a luminous palette of deep blues and ethereal greens to emphasize the dynamic energy of the Gothic architecture rather than its static form.
