Le Parlement, la nuit

1906–1907
Not on view
En 1905–1906, André Derain séjourna à Londres à la suggestion d’Ambroise Vollard, marchand de tableaux, pour lequel il peignit plusieurs vues de la ville, dont celle-ci. Il expliqua plus tard avoir été inspiré par Claude Monet et ses vues de la capitale britannique, qui avaient fait « forte impression à Paris » quelques années plus tôt. Derain a traité le sujet par touches allongées et fragmentées de couleurs vives qui reflètent l’influence néo-impressionniste de Paul Signac et d’Henri-Edmond Cross, comme celle de Matisse, avec lequel il avait passé l’été 1905 dans le sud de la France.
