About the piece

Painted in the late 1890s, this work represents Paul Cézanne's fascination with the Bibémus quarry near his home in Aix-en-Provence. The composition utilizes his signature rhythmic brushstrokes and a vibrant palette of emerald greens and deep oranges, transforming the rugged terrain into a structured study of light and architectural form.
