1870 (ca.), Paul Cezanne, Landscape: Road with Trees in Rocky Mountains -- Tate Modern (London) (special exhibition)
From the museum label: This painting is thought to depict one of the mountainous rocky tracks in the steep hills above l'Estaque. It is one of only a handful of the artist's works dated to the time of the Franco-Prussian War, when Cezanne and Fiquet initially found refuge in l'Estaque. Here they were briefly joined by Zola, who later described the local scenery as 'traversed by roads that disappear in the midst of a chaos of jagged rocks... nothing equals the majesty of these gorges hollowed out between the hills, narrow with paths twisting at the bottom of an abyss'.
