Jas de Bouffan \u2013 chestnut trees in winter<\/h2>\n

This is a winter view across the family estate of Jas de Bouffan near Aix-en-Provence: bare chestnut trunks stand like a mesh against a bright sky, and in the background the ridge of Mont Sainte-Victoire is barely visible. Our hand-painted reproduction on canvas brings this restrained, almost graphic subject into your home, painted in oil on canvas.<\/p>\n

Why C\u00e9zanne painted trees without leaves<\/h3>\n

In winter the avenue showed what interested C\u00e9zanne most: construction. Stripped of leaves, the trunks and branches became a drawing across the whole canvas, through which the space behind them stays visible. He painted the same avenue in summer as well, but the winter versions are considered the more radical.<\/p>\n

The estate his father bought<\/h3>\n

Jas de Bouffan was bought in 1859 by the painter\u2019s father, Louis-Auguste. For C\u00e9zanne the estate was home, studio and an inexhaustible subject for almost forty years \u2013 from the salon, where he was allowed to paint straight onto the wall, to the park and the pond. The family sold it in 1899.<\/p>\n

What you see on the canvas<\/h3>\n

The foreground is meadow in green and ochre strokes, the middle is taken by the row of trunks, the estate building stands to the left, and a low stone wall runs along the bottom. The original is painted in oil on canvas and by the collection\u2019s record measures 90.1 \u00d7 71.1 cm; it was made in the mid-1880s.<\/p>\n

A winter avenue for your wall<\/h3>\n

The bare trunks are a drawing across the whole canvas, so we paint them by hand \u2013 printed, they lose their depth. You can choose among ten sizes, and we will paint yours to measure if you prefer. The quiet green-grey scale suits warm wood and older furniture. Try the frame in our app\u2019s 3D preview. Among our reproductions of famous paintings<\/strong> you will find other subjects from the Jas de Bouffan estate and its surroundings: Jas de Bouffan, The Pond<\/a>, Mont Sainte-Victoire<\/a> and The Great Pine<\/a>.<\/p>\n
