Rochers à l'Estaque (Rocks at L'Estaque) is a 1890 oil by Paul Cezanne, a Post-Impressionism work, depicting L'estaque, held at São Paulo Museum of Art.
This painting shows a rocky landscape with a few trees and a body of water in the background. The rocks are depicted in shades of gray and brown, while the trees are green. The sky above is light blue with some white clouds. In the foreground, the rocks are painted in thick, heavy brushstrokes, giving them a textured appearance. The trees are smaller and more delicate, with thinner brushstrokes. The overall effect is one of ruggedness and natural beauty.

Paul Cézanne was born on January 19, 1839, in Aix-en-Provence, the son of a hatter turned wealthy banker.
