Galerie Mont Saint-Séverin No. 2 – Robert Delaunay^ Delaunay

Saint-Séverin No. 2 by Robert Delaunay is a work of the Orphic movement, depicting the Parisian church of Saint-Séverin through a prism of geometric shapes and bold colours. The painting depicts the interior of the church, featuring its arches and vaults in an abstract and dynamic composition.

Delaunay uses curved lines, circles and geometric shapes to translate the architecture of the church. The bright, contrasting colours create an effect of light and shadow, giving the work a spatial dimension and an energetic appearance. Thus, Saint-Séverin No. 2 is a perfect example of Delaunay’s Orphic approach, which seeks to express energy and movement through abstraction, colour and geometric forms.
