Galerie Mont Annecy Lake – Paul Cézanne^ Cézanne

Painted in 1896, Annecy Lake belongs to the post-impressionist period in Cézanne’s work. The artist was staying near Lake Annecy in Haute-Savoie, where he found the inspiration for this landscape composition, which was to have a profound effect on the history of art.

The painting depicts a panoramic view of Annecy Lake, surrounded by green mountains and a cloudy sky. The composition is balanced and harmonious, with simplified geometric shapes and expressive paint strokes that give the work a sense of depth and movement. The colour palette is dominated by fresh, bright tones such as blue, green and white, which create a peaceful and serene atmosphere. The contrasts between light and shadow accentuate the beauty of the landscape and invite the viewer to contemplate nature in all its splendour.
