Painted in 1865 during his early Parisian travels when young Paul Cézanne was exploring the countryside outside Paris, Landscape in the Île de France (Paysage d’Île-de-France) represents a rare early milestone in his evolution as a landscape painter. Belonging firmly to his legendary “Dark Period,” this work reveals Cézanne under the heavy influence of Eugène Delacroix and Gustave Courbet. Long before pioneering the bright light of Impressionism or the geometric structures of his famous Provence views, Cézanne built the trees, earth, and cloud-laden skies out of thick impasto and deep shadow glazes. Preserved in a private collection, this compact early canvas provides collectors an extraordinary look into the romantic, tactile foundations of modern art’s ultimate structural pioneer.
