The Eiffel Tower (by Robert Delaunay) Ceramic Tile

This design features artwork by French painter Robert Delaunay (12 April 1885 – 25 October 1941), who, with his wife Sonia Delaunay and others, co-founded the art movement of Orphism, which is noted for its confident use of strong colours and geometric shapes. The image shows the Eiffel Tower, a famous Parisian landmark and symbol of France, that was designed and constructed by Gustave Eiffel's engineering company. It is particularly interesting since it takes a bird's-eye view from above. The Eiffel Tower was the tallest building in the world for 41 years after its construction, until, in 1930, it was surpassed by the Chrysler Building in New York City. The tower is still the tallest structure in Paris.
