Did you know?
Paul Cézanne often painted the landscapes around his family estate, Jas de Bouffan, in Aix-en-Provence. These trees, stripped bare by winter, reveal the underlying structure of the landscape, a common fascination for Cézanne as he sought to bring solidity and form to Impressionist spontaneity, paving the way for Cubism.
