道路 by Paul Cézanne, 1871

Painted during a pivotal moment when Cézanne was learning from Camille Pissarro in Pontoise, this landscape bursts with early Impressionist energy. Notice how the pale road curves dramatically like a ribbon, guiding your eye past the rugged, sandy cliff face on the right and toward those massive, billowing clouds that dominate the sky. While his later works became famous for rigid geometric blocks of color, here you can still see his darker, more romantic roots blending with the loose, airy brushstrokes he was just beginning to master under Pissarro's influence.
