Maison Maria with a View of Chateau Noir Paul Cezanne Master copy by Ruth Ann North 11 x 14 Oil on board

$250.00

I love this painting by Cézanne. Although the owner of the château remains unknown and Maria does not appear in the French land records from that era, the small outbuilding on the lower right side of the painting is said to have been where Cézanne stored his art supplies. At the time, the building was abandoned, which adds a unique historical context to the scene. This detail creates a more intimate connection between Cézanne and the work, suggesting that the setting was close to his home and creative space. It is also noted that Cézanne painted the road multiple times, capturing it from various angles and in different compositions, further highlighting its significance in his artistic vision.
