Saint-Séverin No. 3, now housed in the Guggenheim Museum in New York City, marked a time that Delaunay himself described as "a period of transition from Cézanne to Cubism." According to the Guggenheim's website, "Robert Delaunay chose the view into the ambulatory of the Parisian Gothic church Saint-Séverin...in which he charted the modulations of light streaming through the stained-glass windows and the resulting perceptual distortion of the architecture."  Pictured here is the original piece as it appears in the Guggenheim, however, the 1922 magazine printing of the painting represents the work in an especially colorless, dark manner (owing to the cheap black and white print). So although the piece initially, its characteristics strongly rely on light as it streams through colored glass.
