A little help choosing
Choosing your Dufy painting
Golfe Juan offers a broad coastal view, with a striking foreground tree and deep blue water. Open Window Nice brings that relationship between indoors and outdoors into a more enclosed, upright composition, surrounding the sea view with patterned furnishings.
For stronger contrasts and a crowded arrangement of shapes, compare Boats at Martigues with the looser architectural drawing of The Casino of Nice. Hotel Sube offers another waterfront subject, while The Violin takes the collection towards still life. When choosing these fine art reproductions, consider how much visual activity you want: a view through a window, a cluster of boats and an expansive bay each create a different sense of space.
Size and framing
The upright Open Window Nice and the wider Golfe Juan need different wall spaces. Keep each painting’s full composition and allow for the frame when measuring. We can help you compare the listed sizes or quote for an alternative that preserves the original proportions.
Our frames are handmade to order. A simple frame moulding can leave Dufy’s colour and drawing to lead, while a more substantial surround gives the painting a stronger presence. Choose antique gold or silver, contemporary painted finishes or actual Farrow & Ball shades. We can help shortlist a moulding and colour finish for your room.
Once suitable sizes and prices have been discussed, our free room mock-up service can help you compare the painting’s scale and proposed framing in its intended setting.

About Raoul Dufy
French painter and designer, 1877–1953
Raoul Dufy developed a distinctive relationship between colour and drawing. In his mature work, swiftly described buildings, trees and figures sit within broad areas of colour, giving a scene both structure and a feeling of movement. His earlier paintings can be more densely organised, with boats and buildings broken into strongly contrasting shapes.
Born in Le Havre, Dufy first drew on Impressionist painting before joining the Fauvist movement around 1905. Brighter colour and freer brushwork followed, while subsequent experiments with Cubist structure helped expand his approach. After the First World War, his increasingly personal style brought supple lines and luminous colour to seascapes, orchestras and racecourses.
Dufy’s work also crossed into illustration and textile design. He made woodcuts for Apollinaire’s Bestiaire and worked with the fashion designer Paul Poiret and the silk manufacturer Bianchini-Ferrier. This interest in pattern has a clear counterpart in the decorated interiors and rhythmic surfaces of his paintings. The works gathered here show more than one phase of his career, from compact still lifes and harbour scenes to the expansive views and animated drawing of his later style.
