The artwork titled “Promenade” is a 1913 oil painting on cardboard created by August Macke. It belongs to the Orphism art movement and measures 51 by 57 cm. This genre painting is currently housed in the Lenbachhaus in Munich, Germany.
The artwork presents an impressionistic scene of leisurely strollers amidst lush greenery. The use of vibrant colors and sinuous lines conveys a sense of harmony and movement, typical of the Orphism style. Prominent figures in sophisticated attire engage in an almost ethereal, dreamlike atmosphere, with surrounding trees and pathways depicted in a semi-abstract manner. The interaction of light and shadow, combined with the fluid forms, imbues the scene with a dynamic sense of life and energy.
