Rock in the Forest of Fontainbleau — Fine Art

The title points to a rocky hill inside a woodland setting in France. Paul Cézanne works the picture with tight colour patches and separate brush marks, the way he handled his outdoor studies. Shapes of stone and trees sit side by side without hard outlines. The surface reads as a quiet place with leaves and rock.

This fine art print comes ready to hang with a metal hanger fixed to the back, so it goes up on a nail or screw without a separate frame. The paper holds the green and earth tones with a soft finish, which keeps the separate strokes clear.

It fits a reading corner with a low lamp over a desk. From the chair you notice the green patches across the centre, and near the edge the darker tree shapes settle against the rock.
