About the piece
Created around 1895, this painting represents Paul Cézanne's mature style as he explored the abandoned Bibémus Quarry near Aix-en-Provence. The work highlights his transition toward Modernism, using rhythmic, block-like brushstrokes to define the terracotta-colored sandstone cliffs and the verdant foliage, creating a composition that emphasizes the underlying structure of the natural world.
