Galerie Mont Black castle – Vincent Van Gogh^ Cézanne

Painted in 1904, Black castle belongs to the late period of Cézanne’s work, during which he concentrated on the representation of the Provençal landscape. The château, located near Aix-en-Provence, is a recurrent subject in the artist’s work and is a central motif in many of his compositions.

The painting depicts the Black castle, an imposing building surrounded by lush vegetation and majestic trees. The composition is balanced and harmonious, with simplified geometric shapes and expressive paint strokes that create a sense of depth and movement. The colour palette is dominated by dark, contrasting tones, such as black, brown and green, which accentuate the mysterious and captivating atmosphere of the painting. The play of light and shadow gives the work a striking dynamic and depth, inviting the viewer to contemplate the richness of detail and complexity of the composition.
