Coucher de soleil no. 1 (also called Landscape Paysage Landschap or Sunset No. 1) is an oil painting created circa 1906 by the French artist and theorist Jean Metzinger (1883–1956). Coucher de soleil no. 1 is a work executed in a mosaic-like Divisionist style with a Fauve palette. The reverberating image of the sun in Metzinger’s painting is an homage to the decomposition of spectral light at the core of Neo-Impressionist color theory.
