Village Road, Auvers \u2013 the dark, early C\u00e9zanne<\/h2>\n

Village Road at Auvers is an early work from the beginning of the 1870s, when C\u00e9zanne\u2019s palette was still heavy and earthen. A muddy road winds between low houses under a grey sky; the trees are bare. Our hand-painted reproduction on canvas brings this restrained, almost northern subject into your home, painted in oil on canvas.<\/p>\n

Before the light arrived<\/h3>\n

This canvas shows C\u00e9zanne before the turn: the colours are dirty greens, browns and greys, the paint is thickly laid, and the scene is without sun. That is precisely what makes it valuable \u2013 it shows where the painter came from, before Pissarro turned him towards a lighter palette and towards working outdoors.<\/p>\n

A village we know because of another painter<\/h3>\n

Auvers-sur-Oise is best known today as the place where Vincent van Gogh died in 1890. Seventeen years earlier C\u00e9zanne worked there \u2013 in the same village, on the same roads, but in an entirely different manner and without van Gogh\u2019s drama.<\/p>\n

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

The road climbs from the foreground towards the middle and disappears behind the houses; on the left stands a white house with a dark roof, and on the right a bare bank rises with trees on it. The original is painted in oil on canvas and by the collection\u2019s record measures 55.5 \u00d7 46 cm.<\/p>\n

Earth tones for a quiet room<\/h3>\n

This early canvas lives on a thick application of paint that print cannot imitate \u2013 which is why we paint it by hand. It is available in ten sizes and to your own measurements. The subdued brown-grey scale suits older, darker furniture. Which frame to choose our 3D preview will show you. Among our reproductions of famous paintings<\/strong> you will find C\u00e9zanne\u2019s other village and road subjects: The House of P\u00e8re Lacroix in Auvers<\/a>, Road at Chantilly<\/a> and Bend in Forest Road<\/a>.<\/p>\n
