Road at Chantilly \u2013 five months in the north<\/h2>\n

Road at Chantilly was made in 1888, when C\u00e9zanne left Provence for a few months and worked around Chantilly north of Paris. Instead of dry southern light he met denser, greener trees here \u2013 and that change is exactly what shows on the canvas. Through tall trunks the view opens onto a house at the end of the path. Our hand-painted reproduction on canvas brings this subject into your home, painted in oil on canvas.<\/p>\n

North instead of south<\/h3>\n

We associate C\u00e9zanne almost exclusively with the country around Aix-en-Provence, yet he worked a good deal in the north of France as well \u2013 at Auvers, at Pontoise and, in 1888, at Chantilly. The northern canvases are as a rule greener and more closed: instead of a broad valley and a mountain, the subject is often narrowed to an avenue or a bend in a path, with the light arriving in pieces through the leaves.<\/p>\n

A path closed off by a building<\/h3>\n

The composition is upright and symmetrical: trunks on both sides form a kind of portal, the ground is strewn with warm yellow-ochre light, and at the end of the path stands a pale house that stops the eye. C\u00e9zanne creates depth not by diminishing the forms but through a sequence of bands \u2013 foreground, trees, building \u2013 lying one behind another like stage flats.<\/p>\n

An avenue for a narrow wall<\/h3>\n

In the photographs above you can see our hand-painted reproduction of this painting. Light falling in pieces through leaves is the first thing lost in print \u2013 so we paint by hand. Ten sizes, or your own measurements; with upright subjects that often pays off. The format is made for the narrower space between two windows. Check the frame in a realistic 3D preview. Among our hand-painted oil reproductions<\/strong> you will find C\u00e9zanne\u2019s other roads and avenues: Bend in Forest Road<\/a>, Village Road, Auvers<\/a> and The House of P\u00e8re Lacroix in Auvers<\/a>.<\/p>\n
