Maurice de Vlaminck belonged to the circle of friends of the Fauves, whose glaring color compositions had revolutionized painting since 1905. The painter defined the bridges and buildings on the Seine with black contours. Through these motifs the Fauves remained linked to Impressionist landscape painting. Conversely, the tightness of the composition and the intensity of the somber colors give their works an Expressionist element.
