Pool at the Jas de Bouffan
by CÉZANNE, Paul, Oil on canvas, 73 x 60 cm
The Jas de Bouffan (House of the Wind), the former summer residence of the Governor of Provence, to the west of Aix, was bought by C�zanne’s father in 1859. Its grounds, with their avenue of chestnut trees and stone pool, were the subject of many of C�zanne’s paintings. The bright colours and parallel layers of brushstrokes reflect the influence of Pissarro.
