Farm in Normandy, c. 1885-86 

This painting, “Farm in Normandy” by Paul Cézanne, is a prime example of his signature style. The dense foliage of the orchard, depicted with broad brushstrokes and vibrant color, creates a sense of depth and texture. Cézanne's focus on the geometric shapes and planes of nature, rather than traditional perspective, foreshadows the development of Cubism and other abstract art movements. The work’s flatness and simplified forms showcase his efforts to create a more direct and honest representation of reality.
