The Pigeon Tower at Bellevue by Paul Cézanne

The Pigeon Tower at Bellevue (1890)

Paul Cézanne | Post-Impressionism | Oil on canvas

Cézanne built this scene in three bands: blue sky on top, the bright white tower and farm buildings in the middle, and burnt-orange earth below, a color that hints at the iron-rich soil of Provence. Green cypress and olive trees, two of his favorites, dot the middle. He left out every extra detail and kept only simple, solid shapes.

Did you know? The pigeon tower stood at the house of Cézanne's brother-in-law, Maxime Conil, in Bellevue, and Cézanne painted two views of it. His way of flattening space and simplifying forms into geometric shapes helped lay the groundwork for Fauvism and Cubism.
