Paul Cezanne Chateau Noir Art Print
Brandywine General Store
An archival art print of Château Noir, painted by Paul Cézanne multiple times between 1900 and 1904. Known locally as the “Château du Diable” — Castle of the Devil — the gothic manor with its pointed windows and incomplete walls had the appearance of a ruin set into a hillside near the Bibémus quarry outside Aix-en-Provence. Cézanne was drawn repeatedly to this brooding, forbidding subject: cramped, remote, and difficult to paint, it seemed to match his own restless temperament in his later years. Where his earlier work sought the fundamental order of nature, these late paintings embrace its chaos. Beyond the château itself, Cézanne found the surrounding woods and quarry grounds fertile with subject matter, and the area appears across dozens of his late canvases. Several versions of Château Noir are held in major museum collections, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
