Landscape with fountain 1867

Paul Cézanne's "Landscape with fountain" (1867) is a captivating oil painting depicting a serene outdoor scene. The painting showcases Cézanne's early style, where he meticulously renders the natural world with a combination of realism and nascent impressionism. The foreground features a wooden bench and a fountain, framed by lush greenery, while a hazy sky and the silhouettes of trees in the background create a sense of depth and tranquility. The painting's focus on the interplay of light and shadow, and its use of vibrant colors, foreshadows Cézanne's later contributions to Post-Impressionism.
