Nice, Le Gueridon elegantly depicts one of Raoul Dufy’s favorite subjects. The vivid, light and breezy atmosphere of the Mediterranean coast appealed to the artist’s bold palette and gestural brushwork, traits rooted in the tenets of the Fauve movement of which he was a pioneer. In the present work, Dufy applies this style to a lively interior filled with beautiful patterns, juxtaposed against a calm expanse of coastline through the open windows. Over the course of many summers in Nice, Dufy painted a series of similar compositions, one of which is at the Museum of Modern Art, New York.

A guéridon is a small table supported by one or more columns, or sculptural human or mythological figures, often with a circular top. The guéridon originated in France towards the middle of the 17th century.

This puzzle comes in our beautiful Artisan Series, premium quality packaging - a very sturdy box with a magnetic closure. It will look fabulous on your bookshelf or coffee table!

5 Stars!

Everything about this puzzle brought joy, from the excellent customer service and delivery through to completion of the puzzle itself. I LOVE the feel of the new 7 mm thickness. The colours of the Dufy artwork are truly lush! The clever cut design blew this product out of the water. Definitely, worth every penny. I'm SO glad I treated myself.
