Robert Delaunay is a French artist famous for his use of strong colours and geometric shapes, together with his wife Sonia and others, created the Orphism movement, founded the law of colour contrasts developing over time and simultaneously perceived over time. movement, light and modern life; this one, painted in 1926, is seen from a low angle with its simultaneous colour contrasts.

Through the openwork structure of the monument, it makes the light vibrate in multiple bursts. Emblem of modernity, the metal tower built by Gustave Eiffel in 1889 fascinates Delaunay and runs through all his work. After having disarticulated it in an important cubist series at the beginning of the 1910s, the artist magnified the Eiffel Tower in a range of flamboyant colours underlined by a powerful low-angle effect, often adopted by photographers of the time. he openwork framework of the building soars like a bridge towards the sky. The colours of the geometric flat areas with which the tower is covered give this painting an assertive decorative look.
