After his service ended, Matisse persuaded Derain's parents to let their son abandon an engineering career and devote himself entirely to painting; Derain then enrolled at the Académie Julian.

Salon d'Automne 1905: The Birth of Fauvism

Trip to London Commissioned by Vollard
The dealer Ambroise Vollard sent Derain to London to paint a series of views of the city; in 30 canvases of the Thames and Tower Bridge he created an image of London radically different from those of Whistler and Monet. These works remain among the artist's most popular.
