Galerie Mont Landscape of Laon – Robert Delaunay^ Delaunay

Robert Delaunay’s Landscape of Laon is a work of the Orphic movement, offering an abstract and colourful representation of the landscape of Laon, a historic city in northern France. The painting depicts the hill upon which Laon Cathedral sits, as well as the surrounding area, using geometric shapes and bright colours to create a dynamic and energetic composition.

Delaunay uses various geometric shapes to represent elements of the landscape, such as buildings, trees and hills. The contrasting and bright colours bring the scene to life, while creating an effect of depth and movement. The combination of geometric shapes and bold colours is characteristic of Orphism, an artistic movement that sought to express energy and movement through abstraction and colour, as can be seen in Landscape of Laon.
