Choose options
Houses in Provence: The Riaux Valley near L’Estaque, painted by Paul Cézanne in 1883, centers on a solid, sun-bleached Provençal farmhouse with a red tile roof, its geometric mass set against rocky, terraced hillsides rendered in cool blue-greens and warm ochre under a pale sky. Painted during Cézanne's transformative years working in the hills above the Bay of Marseille near L’Estaque, the canvas shows the artist building the scene from regular, parallel brushstrokes that flatten depth into rhythmic planes of color, an approach that would prove foundational to Cubism a generation later.
Artist: Paul Cézanne (French, 1839-1906). Date: 1883.
