River Bend (Coin de Riviere) is a 1865 oil by Paul Cezanne, a Realism work, held at Israel Museum.
The painting depicts a serene landscape with a river bend, featuring trees and a cloudy sky. The artist's use of dark colors and bold brushstrokes creates a sense of depth and texture. In the foreground, the river's edge is visible, with the water's surface reflecting the surrounding foliage. The trees, rendered in various shades of green, appear to be swaying gently in the breeze. The sky above is a soft, pale blue, with clouds scattered throughout. This painting showcases Paul Cézanne's early work, demonstrating his unique style and technique.
