About the piece
Created in 1914 by Jules Schmalzigaug, this oil painting is a quintessential example of the Futurist movement's attempt to depict 'speed' on a static canvas. Its swirling composition and high-contrast palette of ultramarine, cadmium red, and bright white create a sense of relentless energy and modern dynamism that commands attention in any space.
