About this artwork

Painted in 1912, The Road to Laon is a landscape in oil on canvas by Robert Delaunay. It shows the town of Laon, with its road, a house and the cathedral among the subjects depicted. Delaunay was a French artist of the School of Paris who, with his wife Sonia Delaunay and others, co-founded Orphism, a movement known for strong colour and geometric shapes. His work is marked by bold colour and a clear enjoyment of experimenting with depth and tone. The painting is held today at the Musée National d'Art Moderne.

On your wall: A good match for modern living rooms, studies and hallways, where a landscape treated with bold colour and geometric structure can bring energy and a point of interest.
