Entrance to a Garden 1878 - 1880

Paul Cézanne's "Entrance to a Garden" (1878-1880) depicts a simple outdoor scene with a focus on geometric shapes and simplified forms. Cézanne, a pioneer of Post-Impressionism, employed a unique style of painting, breaking down natural forms into basic geometric components, evident in the trees and building. The watercolor medium allows for soft, hazy outlines and emphasizes the dappled light that filters through the foliage, creating a sense of peaceful contemplation.
