Le bassin du Jas de Bouffan c. 1878

"Le bassin du Jas de Bouffan" (c. 1878) by Paul Cézanne depicts a tranquil scene from the artist's beloved estate in Aix-en-Provence. The painting, executed in Cézanne's signature Post-Impressionist style, captures the interplay of light and shadow in the landscape, emphasizing the geometric forms of the pond, the trees, and the surrounding walls. The brushstrokes are visible, contributing to the textured and almost sculptural feel of the work. This landscape painting offers a glimpse into Cézanne's fascination with nature and his innovative approach to composition and form.
