Description: | This landscape shows a view of the range of mountains, La Chaîne de l'Etoile, just to the south of Aix-en-Provence, the city in the south of France where Cézanne lived and worked. Like many of Cézanne's paintings this work has not been finished. While the band of houses, buildings and hills in the middle ground have been worked in over a number of sessions, the area of grass in the foreground, the mountain range and the sky have been thinly painted. No doubt to signal his dissatisfaction, the artist seems to have slashed the area of sky above the houses on the right where repairs to a long vertical tear can be seen. | Subjects: | landscape | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Cézanne, Paul (French painter and draftsman, 1839-1906) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8797... | Go to resource |
