Originally done in 1914, today it has been carefully recreated detail by detail, color by color to near perfection. Like Matisse, Derain is known as one of the pioneers of Fauvism, a style utilizing vivid color for its sensual and decorative value. He was a French artist, but Derain”s use of bold colors and compositions when painting the Thames and Tower Bridge, which remain among his most popular work, where described by art critic T.G Rosenthal: "Not since Monet has anyone made London seem so fresh and yet remain quintessentially English." In addition to painting Derain experimented with stone sculpture and moved to Montmartre to be near his friend Pablo Picasso and other noted artists. Shifting from the brilliant Fauvist palette to more muted tones, Derain”s influence of Cubism and Paul Cezanne can be seen in paintings such as the "Portrait de Mme Paul Guillaume".
