In the painting The Aqueduct, the life of Provence nature is filled with the sense of the eternity, dignity, and grandeur of this ancient land. It seems that the inner dynamic tension that forms this beautiful and austere landscape is imprinted in the smooth turn of the valley and the contours of the mountains with traces of geological shifts. The artist is primarily interested not in the play of hues changing with the light, but in the contrast of concentrated colors. “I wanted to copy nature, but I wasn’t able to... The sun cannot be reproduced, but it can be imagined... using paint, " the master said. “Not light, but color” – this formula is the defining attribute of Cézanne’s artworks.
