House on the Marne

This landscape of a white house on the Marne River is by Post-Impressionist Paul Cézanne. The Marne River runs east and southeast of Paris, France and was a frequent subject of Cézanne's. This painting is one of eight Cézannes bequeathed by Charles A. Loeser after his death in 1928 to the President of the United States and all his future successors. Though prolific during his lifetime, Cézanne's art did not receive much recognition or acclaim until after his death, when his influence was cited by younger artists such as Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso who moved away from the Impressionist style into new and different modes of painting.
