Give your interior a breathtaking Mediterranean view with this art print of The Bay of Marseille seen from L'Estaque by Paul Cézanne, one of the most iconic paintings from the master's Provençal period. This landscape, bathed in light and structured by a rigorous geometric composition, embodies the pictorial revolution carried out by Cézanne, between Impressionism and emerging Cubism.
The painting depicts the coastline of Marseille as seen from l'Estaque, a small port dear to Cézanne, located to the west of the city. The sea sparkles in the distance, dominated by hills with bluish tones, while the foreground is structured by red roofs, trees, and angular shapes that already herald the Cubist language.
Paul Cézanne (1839–1906), considered the father of modern painting, painted the landscape of l’Estaque several times, which he regarded as an inexhaustible source of inspiration. In this version of the Golfe de Marseille, he delivers a structured and almost architectural vision of the landscape, where each volume seems weighed, constructed, integrated into the whole.
This work is a milestone in the history of modern art, admired notably by Picasso and Braque, who saw in it a foundation for the development of Cubism.
