Paul Cezanne "The Bay of Marseille"

I really enjoyed looking through Paul Cezzane's artwork. He has a wide variety of paintings from still life, to landscapes, to people, etc. His works that stood out most to me though were his landscapes. He used a lot of different colors and techniques from what was the norm back then. I especially enjoyed his painting, The Bay of Marseille, 1885. I picked this piece because of his technique in this painting. You can see the brush strokes which adds texture to the sky, mountains, and the water. You can also see the depth of the mountains compared to the houses in the front of the painting because of his attention to detail. I also think his color use was a great choice because ocean really stands out next to the gray mountains and sky.
