The Eiffel Tower rises in orange, red and yellow girders from the lower right, tilted across the canvas, while around its base the lawns, paths and pools of the Champ de Mars are laid out in flat curving shapes of green, blue and pink, as if seen from the air. Delaunay painted it in 1924, returning to the subject that had made his name between 1909 and 1912, when he painted the tower shattered into fragments. The later version is calmer and brighter, closer to an aerial view, and it uses the lighter colour of his work in the 1920s. The tower remained for him a symbol of modern Paris and of the new age of engineering and flight, the same theme as his Homage to Blériot. The painting is in the Dallas Museum of Art.
This print reproduces the whole work, uncropped, from a high-resolution scan of the original. The original is in the public domain.

Size. We'd hang this one at 24×36. Prints at 12×18, 16×24, 24×36 in — 12×18 for a shelf, desk or a gallery-wall grid; 16×24 above a desk, console or in a hallway; 24×36 as the statement piece above a sofa or bed.
Framing. The gallery ground is part of the print, so frame it without a mat — natural wood flatters the lighter palette; black sharpens it.
Pairing. Pairs as a set of three with other famous painting prints (10% off three or more).
