Frame width 42 in., height 37 in., sight width 30.5 in., height 26 in., Michel Delacroix is a well known and easily recognizable artist who works primarily in a primitive style. His subjects include street scenes of Paris and other settings in the French countryside, primarily during the Nazi occupation, which he experienced as a child. Delacroixs work combines structure and detail with rich color to convey the bustling, diverse activity of Paris and the quaint majesty of the French Chateaux. Canal St. Martin en Automne depicts the famous canal in Paris, France in autumn. The city is bustling with activity with a barge coming into the canal and many Parisian workers and people going about their daily lives on the banks of the Seine River. In the background is the charming city with trees turning color as the season changes.
