"The Lac d'Annecy" is an oil painting by Paul Cézanne, created in 1896, and now located in the Courtauld Gallery in London, UK. The painting, measuring 65 x 81 cm, showcases Cézanne's signature style of Post-Impressionism, characterized by his bold brushstrokes and simplified forms, particularly evident in the rendering of the mountains and the lake's reflection. The tranquil scene captures the beauty of the French Alps, a favorite subject for Cézanne, with his signature use of color and his exploration of light and shadow.
