Avenue of Chestnut Trees at the Jas de Bouffan c. 1878 - 1890

"Avenue of Chestnut Trees at the Jas de Bouffan" is a watercolor painting by Paul Cézanne, created between 1878 and 1890. It depicts a picturesque scene of a pathway lined with chestnut trees at Jas de Bouffan, Cézanne's family estate in Aix-en-Provence, France. Cézanne's signature style, characterized by geometric forms and muted tones, is evident in the composition, where the trees are rendered with broad brushstrokes and simplified shapes. This piece is a testament to his groundbreaking approach to landscape painting, which would influence generations of artists to come.
