Bridge over the pond 1889

Paul Cézanne's "Bridge over the Pond" is a quintessential example of his Post-Impressionist style. The painting, created in 1889, features a bridge, reflected in a pond and surrounded by verdant trees. Cézanne's characteristic short, choppy brushstrokes, and emphasis on geometric forms create a sense of depth and solidity, transforming the landscape into a study of light and color. The use of greens and browns in the foliage and water creates a sense of harmony, but also emphasizes the solidity and weight of the objects. The bridge, seemingly constructed of wood, is rendered with a delicate touch, highlighting the subtle texture of its surface.
