# In the Grounds of Château Noir [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [CÉZANNE, Paul]() - Date: 1851-1900 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 93 x 74 cm ## Commentary In the Grounds of Château Noir c. 1900 Oil on canvas, 93 x 74 cm National Gallery, London The transformation and resolution of objects into areas of colour is a feature of Cézanne's later works. This view of painting no longer requires dramatic motifs: a randomly chosen detail of landscape containing tree trunks, foliage and block-shaped rocks suited Cézanne's distinctive ideas of pure painting just as well as the Château Noir or Mont Sainte-Victoire. ## Related artworks - [A Modern Olympia]() - [A Modern Olympia]() - [A Path by the Lake]() - [Afternoon in Naples]() - [Bather]() - [Bathers Beneath a Bridge]() - [Bathers]() - [Bathers]() - [Bathers]() - [Bathers]() - [Bathers]() - [Bathers]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
