Context:
|
Cézanne painted this scene in the valley of the Arc River which runs southeast of his home in Aix-en-Provence, France. Unlike the Impressionists, Cézanne was not interested in the transitory effects of light and atmosphere. Rather, he aspired to organize his visual sensations through directional brushstrokes and patterns of warm and cool colors. Color intensity is maintained throughout so that background and foreground are unified into a rigorous structure of intersecting planes.
