Descriptionedit
The Hanged Man's House is an oil painting on canvas that measures 55 cm x 66 cm and is signed by Cézanne on the bottom left in red paint. It displays a landscape with a complicated composition. The scene presents an atmosphere of solitude, due to the absence of people and the use of a cool colour palette. From the central point of the painting, there are several axes, including two paths leading to the centre and the left, a bank on the right and the branches of a tree leading to the top of the painting. Cézanne had been heavily influenced by his friend Camille Pissarro and as a result, used grainy, broken brushstrokes and pale colours used by the Impressionists.[2] In this composition, Cézanne challenged the conventions of art by making deliberate imperfections of perspective. The inaccuracies can be seen in the angle of the path that leads to the left and the bank on the right.[4]
