Did you know?
Paul Cézanne is often referred to as the "father of modern art" due to his pioneering approach to perspective and form, which profoundly influenced Cubism. His unique method of applying paint in constructive, parallel brushstrokes, visible here, aimed to represent the underlying structure of nature rather than its fleeting appearance. Cézanne often returned to the same motifs, exploring light, color, and form with relentless dedication in landscapes like this one.
