Woman Diving into Water 1870

"Woman Diving into Water" is a 1870 painting by Paul Cézanne depicting a nude woman diving into a body of water. This painting is characteristic of Cézanne's early work with a strong emphasis on the human form and a simplified color palette. While the water is depicted in shades of blue, the background contains a large orange moon, which suggests a night setting. The painting utilizes a bold composition, with the woman's body diagonally positioned across the canvas. Cézanne's early work often explored the nude form and the interplay of light and shadow.
