The Palace of Westminster 1907 0 — Fine Art

The Palace of Westminster 1907 0 by Andre Derain takes a London riverside subject and splits it into broad colour areas. Deep blue water sits under a wide sky, with the building forms laid in heavy flat shapes. The palette stays cool with a few warm notes in the architecture.

This fine art print arrives ready to hang, with a metal hanger fitted to the back that goes straight onto a nail or screw. The matte surface keeps the sky tones soft and stops glare from a ceiling light.

On a hallway wall near the front door, you notice the big colour blocks first at the entrance. From the staircase landing the building shapes read clearly against the blue, and the smaller marks only appear when you are closer.
