Upgrade your walls with Harlequin in Venice Playing the Violin - Raoul Dufy - Fauvist Oil Painting. Every seascape reproduction is painted entirely by hand, so the surface carries the depth and variation of an original oil painting rather than the flatness of a digital canvas print.
Arlequin à Venise jouant du violon, 1941
gouache on paper
In 1938 Dufy visited Venice and executed a series of watercolours of the landmarks of the city. Between 1939 and 1942 Dufy would then draw on this imagery to create a number of oils and watercolours of harlequins set against Venetian backgrounds. The harlequin figures in the foregrounds, executed in Dufy’s typically strong colours, are often playing musical instruments, as in Arlequin à Venise jouant du violon, a reflection of Dufy’s wider interest in music and the orchestra theme.
Every hand painted oil painting in this seascape series is finished on artist-grade canvas and checked against the original before it leaves the studio.
Trained artists work in stages — underpainting, mid-tones, highlights, and detail — using traditional oils on canvas. Because nothing is printed, every hand painted oil painting has its own subtle texture and depth.
For office wall decor that does not feel generic, a painted seascape canvas is hard to beat. It is a popular seascape oil painting pick for new homeowners and a durable alternative to seasonal poster art.
In short: Harlequin in Venice Playing the Violin - Raoul Dufy - Fauvist Oil Painting combines a fauvist composition, a 100% hand painted oil painting process, and the flexibility of made-to-order canvas sizes — a dependable choice for seascape oil painting and office wall decor.
