The pigeon tower at bellevue. Cézanne was among the first artists to break with impressionism and replace its interest in atmospheric effects with a new emphasis on geometric structure. Between 1888 and 1892, he painted two views of the pigeon tower at his brother-in-law's house in bellevue, a small town in southern france. To make the tower the focal point of the composition, cézanne exaggerated its cylindrical shape, extending it upward and to the left. Object Type: painting. Genre: landscape painting. Date: 1890.
