Abandoned House near Aix-en-Provence 1885 - 1887

Paul Cézanne's "Abandoned House near Aix-en-Provence" is a Post-Impressionist oil painting created between 1885-1887. The artwork depicts a simple rural structure, its worn facade rendered in Cézanne's signature thick brushstrokes. The house's terracotta roof and the surrounding vegetation contribute to a sense of serene decay, characteristic of the artist's exploration of nature and the human condition. Cézanne's interest in simplified forms, geometric composition, and the depiction of light and shadow are evident in this work.
