Interior of a forest is a 1882 oil by Paul Cezanne, a Post-Impressionism work, depicting Forest, held at Art Gallery of Ontario.
This painting shows a forest interior. The trees are tall and thin, with dark trunks and branches. The leaves are a mix of greens, from light to dark, and they cover most of the canvas. A small path runs through the center, leading the viewer's eye into the forest. The painting is done in oil paint, with visible brushstrokes that give it a textured look. The colors are muted, with no bright or bold hues. The overall effect is one of calmness and serenity, as if the viewer has stepped into a peaceful forest glade.
