Robert Delaunay's *Homage to Blériot* (1914) is an Orphic painting celebrating the pioneering aviator Louis Blériot. The work features dynamic, colourful abstract forms and a subtle depiction of the Eiffel Tower.
Robert Delaunay's 1914 painting, *Homage to Blériot*, is a celebration of aviation pioneer Louis Blériot, who made the first flight across the English Channel in 1909. Delaunay, along with his wife Sonia Delaunay, developed Orphism, a branch of Cubism that focused on pure abstraction and bright colour. This work exemplifies Orphic principles through its use of dynamic, fragmented forms and a spectrum of hues. The painting features a series of overlapping circles and arcs, creating a sense of movement and energy. These abstract shapes suggest the dynamism of flight and the modern technology of the aeroplane. The Eiffel Tower is subtly incorporated into the composition, anchoring the work in its Parisian context. The colour palette is bright, with reds, yellows, blues, and greens combining to create a sense of optimism and progress. Delaunay sought to capture the excitement of the era and the transformative impact of aviation on society.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
