Painted around 1887, this landscape by Paul Cézanne exemplifies his transformative approach to art, developed largely in his native Provence. At this time, Cézanne was moving beyond the fleeting impressions of his peers, focusing instead on the underlying structure and permanence of nature, a vision that would profoundly influence modern art. In this oil on canvas, a rich, reddish-brown earth fills the foreground, reflecting patches of blue sky and the lush greens of the foliage. Dense trees with dark, slender trunks rise, their canopies rendered with Cézanne's characteristic, almost geometric brushstrokes, building form through distinct planes of color.
