Banks of the Marne c. 1888

Paul Cézanne's "Banks of the Marne" (c. 1888) is a Post-Impressionist painting that depicts a serene landscape along the Marne River in France. The painting's distinct style, characterized by Cézanne's signature geometric shapes, creates a sense of solidity and depth. The prominent tree and the buildings in the background are rendered with thick brushstrokes, while the river's surface is rendered in broad, flat strokes. The overall composition is characterized by a sense of balance and harmony.
