The Winding Road, 1877 by Paul Cézanne

The Winding Road, painted by Paul Cézanne in 1877 captures a rural lane curving past stone walls and rooftops toward a cluster of houses set among trees, with rolling Provençal hills rising beyond. Painted the same year Cézanne exhibited with the Impressionists for the last time, the work already shows his move toward firmer structure and more deliberate brushwork than his Impressionist peers. The elevated viewpoint and geometric interlock of road, walls, and rooftops anticipate the architectural landscapes of his mature career.

Artist: Paul Cézanne (French, 1839-1906). Date: 1877.
