Did you know?
Paul Cézanne often sought refuge from Parisian art circles in the tranquil fishing village of L'Estaque, near Marseille. He painted over 30 landscapes of the area, finding inspiration in its unique light and the clear geometric forms of its houses and terrain. It was here that he began to develop his revolutionary approach to landscape painting, which would later profoundly influence Cubism.
