Additional information
In 1905-06 Derain was one of the leading 'Fauves' (Wild Beasts), an 'avant garde' group of French artists who produced brightly coloured landscapes. Under the influence of Cézanne, he subsequently adopted a more restrained palette. This landscape with a romanesque church and a calvary on a hill was painted at Vers near Cahors in the mountainous Lot region of Southern France. Its fresh, self-consciously naïve approach pays homage to Trecento Italian painting.
