Did you know?
Paul Cézanne stayed in Auvers-sur-Oise from late 1872 to 1874, a period considered crucial for his artistic development. During this time, under the influence of Camille Pissarro, he lightened his palette and began to develop his characteristic method of constructing forms with distinct, almost block-like brushstrokes, laying the groundwork for Cubism. Many of his Auvers landscapes, including this one, explore the relationship between architectural forms and nature.
