Henri Matisse
A leading figure in Fauvism, Derain drew inspiration from the vibrant colors and contrasts of Provence. His landscapes, brimming with sunshine and energy, reflect the magic of the South of France—capable of transforming any canvas.
André Derain
Though Henri Matisse worked in different parts of France, the influence of Provence is noticeable in his later works. His bright, vibrant compositions, filled with freedom and joy, capture that same southern French atmosphere. Matisse sought harmony and inspiration in nature, and Provence became an endless source of ideas for him.
Vincent van Gogh
The few months he spent in Arles left an indelible mark on Vincent van Gogh’s work. His expressive brushstrokes, vibrant color palettes, and emotional landscapes reflected the lively energy of Provence. It was here that the artist learned to capture the full power and passion of nature in his paintings.
Paul Cézanne, who was born in Aix-en-Provence, forever changed the world of painting. His works are a play of light and shadow, vibrant colors, and a distinctive perspective on nature. Cézanne saw in Provence not just a landscape, but an endless field for experimenting with form and composition, which laid the groundwork for the development of modernism and cubism.
