The Pont de Maincy is a painting by a French painter Paul Cézanne who resided during this period in Melun, a neighboring commune of Maincy, France.
The work, measuring from 58.5 cm south 72.5 cm, is preserved at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris.
Main exhibitions: London (1914, 1996), Paris (1926, 1936, 1995, 2011), Beijing (1989), New York (2005).
Created between 1879 and 1880 — the identification and dating of the work were not simple — it depicts a bridge that spanned the Almont in the commune of Maincy in France.
In 1993, the Peruvian painter Herman Braun-Vega referenced Pont de Maincy in Papaye à la guitare (Cézanne), a realistic inverted still life 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.
[...] table, window, landscape, still life interpenetrate naturally and create a space that transitions seamlessly from the tangible and fleshy nature of the exotic fruits occupying the entire foreground to the "Cézanne-like" landscape bathed in sunlight
what impresses itself on the observer [...], is the interplay between the light intrinsic to the composition and the light extrinsic to the painting, deflected, darkened or intensified by extremely sophisticated framing.
