House and Farm at Jas de Bouffan
by CÉZANNE, Paul, Oil on canvas, 60 x 73 cm
The Jas de Bouffan (House of the Wind), the former summer residence of the Governor of Provence, to the west of Aix, was bought by C�zanne’s father in 1859. This estate provided an unfailing source of peace and tranquillity for C�zanne. In this picture, the house seems to be drawing the sun into itself, almost turning to face it.
