Benjamin Vautier (1895-1974) – View of Geneva's Old Town and Saint Pierre Cathedral
Oil on canvas, signed and dated B. Vautier 17 lower left
A superb urban view by Swiss artist Benjamin Vautier, depicting the rooftops of Geneva's Old Town dominated by the majestic silhouette of Saint Pierre Cathedral.
The artist vigorously and modernly recreates the architectural density of Geneva's rooftops, punctuated by chimneys, skylights, and colorful tiles. The cathedral, the focal point of the composition, rises in a slightly hazy atmosphere, contrasting with the vibrant and thick texture of the pictorial touch. The bird's-eye view, almost cubist in its treatment of volumes and lines, conveys the dynamism and visual richness of the city.
With his sober palette enhanced by shades of ochre and gray, and his style marked by post-impressionist modernity, Benjamin Vautier immortalizes an emblematic panorama of Geneva, between fidelity to reality and expressive interpretation.
