History, subject, and conservation
[edit]Created between 1879 and 1880[3] — the identification and dating of the work were not simple[3] — it depicts a bridge that spanned the Almont in the commune of Maincy in France.[4]
Legacy
[edit]In 1993, the Peruvian painter Herman Braun-Vega referenced Pont de Maincy in Papaye à la guitare (Cézanne), a realistic inverted still life[5] that dialogues the post-impressionism of Cézanne with a cubist guitar. The intrinsic light of Cézanne's landscape is doubled by the natural extrinsic light to the painting through the shadow play of a sophisticated frame. This painting is "a small confidential discourse between technicians" according to the artist.[6]
