A little help choosing
Choosing your Derain painting
The two Charing Cross Bridge paintings offer different views of London. The Musée d’Orsay composition gives the curving embankment and foreground trees a prominent role; the Washington version carries the bridge across a bright river beneath a pink sky. Check the museum label and image when choosing.
Big Ben London pairs a recognisable landmark with blue-green water, while The Turning Road builds a denser landscape from coloured trunks, foliage and figures. Fishing Boats Collioure concentrates on overlapping boats and sails. For a quieter palette, consider Landscape near Chatou. These art reproductions offer different balances of architecture, vegetation and open space, so compare the arrangement as well as the dominant colours.
Size and framing
Derain’s landscapes depend on the relationship between foreground, distance and sky. Keep the full composition and allow room for the frame when measuring your wall. We can advise on listed sizes or quote for an alternative that preserves the painting’s proportions.
Our frames are handmade to order. A restrained frame moulding can let the colour lead, while a more substantial surround gives the work greater presence. Colour finishes include antique gold and silver, contemporary painted finishes and actual Farrow & Ball shades. We can help shortlist a moulding and finish alongside your painting.
After discussing suitable sizes and prices, ask about our free room mock-up service to compare the painting’s scale and proposed framing in your own space.

About André Derain
French painter and a leading figure in Fauvism, 1880–1954
André Derain helped make colour a means of constructing a painting rather than simply describing a view. In his early landscapes, unexpected blues, oranges and greens establish relationships between trees, water and buildings. Broad passages of paint and broken touches give the surface a rhythm that remains visible from across a room.
Working alongside Henri Matisse at Collioure in the summer of 1905, Derain explored intense colour and direct brushwork. Their pictures appeared at that year’s Salon d’Automne, where a critic’s description of the artists as fauves, or wild beasts, gave Fauvism its name. The dealer Ambroise Vollard subsequently sent Derain to London, where bridges, river traffic and the skyline became subjects for a series of city views.
Derain’s career extended well beyond this early period. Cézanne’s example encouraged a stronger emphasis on structure, and his later painting moved towards a more classical approach. The collection here concentrates on the landscapes and river scenes of his early years, revealing variations in palette and composition within the work for which he is particularly recognised.
