Landscape 1881

"Landscape" by Paul Cézanne, painted in 1881, exemplifies the artist's signature Post-Impressionist style. The composition features a sweeping view of a village nestled amidst rolling hills and a vibrant, cloudy sky. Cézanne's brushstrokes are thick and visible, creating a textured surface that emphasizes the solidity of the forms. The use of color is bold and expressive, with earthy tones contrasting with the sky's rich violet hues. This painting, a testament to Cézanne's innovative approach to depicting nature, highlights his profound influence on 20th-century art.
