The Old Casino in Nice, at Night Canvas Print – Raoul Dufy

The blue casino glows behind the palms

Awash with shades of blue, Raoul Dufy's The Old Casino in Nice, at Night reveals the illuminated façade behind black palm fronds. A green promenade runs along the left, while figures scatter around the building and waterfront. The casino's lines mingle with reflections, vegetation and swift graphic marks. Touches of turquoise, indigo and pale yellow create a Mediterranean night that feels lively yet elegant, far removed from a sombre nocturnal landscape.

A Riviera night that adds depth

In a bright living room, this broad horizontal composition gives the wall depth and sets off a beige or bottle-green sofa. A study with black details echoes the delicacy of the palms and balustrades. In a hallway, a brass lamp can pick up the casino's small points of light. The cool palette remains welcoming thanks to the green areas and colourful figures. The rhythm of the waterfront and architecture creates an animated scene that reads at a glance, then gradually reveals its details.

Around 1947, Nice becomes a theatre of light

Painted around 1947, the work evokes Nice's former Jetée-Promenade casino, a spectacular Riviera landmark that no longer exists. Dufy does not pursue meticulous architectural description: he turns the building into a luminous centre crossed by movement and vegetation. As a canvas reproduction, the image retains the layered blues, dark palms and pale accents of the façade. A canvas print of Raoul Dufy's The Old Casino in Nice, at Night brings a rare urban vision to an interior—festive without ostentation and evocative of evening walks beside the Mediterranean.
