1870 -1885 · bay, viaduct and houses under the sun
Between the Marseille Sea and the stony hills, Cézanne transforms L'Estaque into an architecture of blues, ochres, pines and roofs, taken from several heights.
Cézanne stayed in L'Estaque during the Franco-Prussian War then returned there several times until the mid-1880s. The village offered him a bird's eye view towards the bay of Marseille, cubic houses, pines, rocks and railway works. In the Gulf of Marseille seen from L'Estaque, the sea forms a large blue band kept at a distance by trees and buildings. The houses of the Riaux valley have yellow walls and red roofs whose solidity contrasts with the diagonal touches of the terrain; depth is born from color rather than shadow. The viaduct introduces an industrial line into the slope. Rocks, pines and sea tighten finally the landscape until the mineral weight is felt in the foreground. L'Estaque allows Cézanne to gradually abandon the fleeting effect for a composition that holds like a building. The selection "L'Estaque de Paul Cézanne" notably compares the Gulf of Marseille seen from l'Estaque and Rocks, pines and sea to l'Estaque. His reading favors color.
In L'Estaque, the sea does not open the landscape to infinity: it is held in place by houses, trees and rocks.
