Mountains in Provence. LEstaque — Fine Art

Three low hills rise behind a row of small houses in Mountains in Provence. LEstaque. Green and ochre patches cover the slope, and the sky stays open above. Paul Cezanne built the view from short separate strokes. The eye moves from the houses up toward the hill tops.

The frame finish can follow the room, so a light frame sits on a dark wall and a wood frame stands beside wooden furniture. The paper stays matte, which keeps the pale greens from turning shiny under a bulb. This fine art print holds the separate strokes without flattening them.

On a stairwell landing the picture reads from the first step. You notice the patchy hillside before the small houses. The open sky above gives the wall some room to breathe. Fine art prints like this settle into a narrow corner well.
