Raoul Dufy
French · b. 1877

As Jean Dufy's elder brother and primary influence, Raoul Dufy painted Parisian scenes and landmarks with nearly identical loose brushwork, vivid color palettes, and Fauvist energy that directly parallels this depiction of the Arc de Triomphe.

Albert Marquet
French · b. 1875

Marquet was a fellow Fauvist who repeatedly painted Parisian cityscapes and architectural landmarks with bold color and fluid brushwork, capturing the lively spirit of French urban life in a style closely aligned with this work.

Maurice Utrillo
French · b. 1883

Utrillo devoted his career to painting Parisian streets and monuments with an expressive, colorful approach rooted in modern French painting, making his urban architectural scenes highly comparable to this vibrant rendering of a famous Paris landmark.
