L’Estaque aux toits rouges 1883 - 1885

“L’Estaque aux toits rouges” (1883–1885) by Paul Cézanne is a Post-Impressionist painting of the village of L'Estaque near Marseille, France, as seen from a hillside. The painting captures the bright colors of the Mediterranean landscape, notably the red tile roofs and the blue sea. The composition is a classic Cézanne, with distinct planes of color and geometric forms that create a sense of depth and solidity. The trees, particularly the prominent one in the foreground, frame the scene, creating a sense of intimacy. Cézanne's signature brushstrokes, visible throughout the painting, contribute to its overall texture and vibrancy.
