# The Sea at L'Estaque [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [CÉZANNE, Paul]() - Date: 1851-1900 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 42 x 59 cm ## Commentary In the summer of 1876, Cézanne went to L'Estaque, which was then an idyllic fishing village on a bay in the Mediterranean, to paint landscapes. At that time he had clearly learned a great deal from Pissarro, and added a great deal of his own. This brightly coloured seascapes is serene and formal. The painting is carefully structures, with the strong colours - the terracotta roof tiles, the green foliage, the blue surface of the water - covering the surface of the canvas with an even intensity. ## 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]()
