About Raoul Dufy

Raoul Dufy (1877–1953) was a French Fauvist painter, designer, and illustrator celebrated for his joyful, decorative approach to modern life. Born in Le Havre, Dufy studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and was influenced early on by the vivid colours of the Fauves, particularly Henri Matisse. Throughout his career, he explored painting, textile design, ceramics, and even stage decoration, leaving behind a rich and varied artistic legacy.

Known for his depictions of regattas, horse races, music, and urban life, Dufy earned international recognition for his ability to transform everyday scenes into celebrations of light and movement. His works embody a sense of optimism and vitality that continues to captivate audiences worldwide.

Raoul Dufy’s Painting Style

Dufy’s painting style is instantly recognisable for its light, airy brushwork, expressive outlines, and luminous colour palette. He often employed quick, fluid strokes to suggest rather than define detail, allowing his paintings to shimmer with spontaneity and vitality. His compositions balance elegance with a sense of playfulness, creating an atmosphere that feels both refined and joyful.

In “Changing of the Guard at Saint James’ Palace,” Dufy uses these stylistic hallmarks to depict one of Britain’s most iconic royal ceremonies. The guards in their distinctive uniforms, the grandeur of the palace, and the bustling sense of occasion are all captured with the vibrancy and charm that made Dufy one of the most beloved artists of the 20th century.
