About the piece

Painted around 1880, this landscape by Paul Cézanne demonstrates his sophisticated transition toward Post-Impressionism. The composition uses a winding road and flanking trees to create deep perspective, drawing the eye toward the architectural forms of a small village and the cool blue of a lake beyond. His characteristic rhythmic brushstrokes build a rich texture that defines both the solid ground and the shimmering foliage.
