About this artwork
The title tells us this is the changing of the guard at Saint James's Palace, a ceremonial moment in London that Raoul Dufy chose as his subject. Dufy was a French painter linked to Fauvism, and he became known for a vibrant, decorative style and for scenes of outdoor social gatherings. A public ritual watched by onlookers sits comfortably within that interest in shared occasions out of doors. His range was wide, taking in drawing, printmaking, book illustration and scenic design, and that sense of design is a useful way into looking at this picture.
On your wall: A lively subject with a decorative, modern spirit, it would suit a living room, hallway or study where you want a touch of movement and character.
