Description   

Cézanne first visited the tiny coastal village of L'Estaque in 1870-71 to escape conscription by the French army during the Franco-Prussian war. The true subject of this picture is the blue expanse of the Mediterranean, rendered as a dense, planar surface disrupted not even by a wave. The painting's highly compact structure, locked tightly in place like a puzzle, conveys the immutable, monumental character of the scenery at L'Estaque.
