Byddai Cézanne yn aml yn ymweld â bryniau l'Estaque, ychydig i'r Gorllewin o Marseilles. Daw'r olygfa hon ohonynt ar bapur wedi ei osod ar gynfas o'r cyfnod 1878-79 neu 1883-84. Erbyn 1885 yr oedd yn eiddo i Gauguin, a wnaeth gopi ohono mewn gouache gan synfyfyrio bod 'y llwybr troellog ar draws y tir toredig drwy'r coed ifanc yn ei atgoffa o'r llwybr unig a gerddodd Crist tuag at Fynydd yr Olewydd.' Mae'r cyfansoddiad eithradol wastad sydd wedi ei fynegi'n syml yn ein hatgoffa o sylw Cézanne fod tirwedd Provence 'fel cerdyn chwarae, toeon coch uwchben môr glas...Mae'r haul mor danbaid yma fel y bydd gwrthrychau i mi i'w gweld fel amlinellau...mewn glas, coch, brown a fioled...mae hynny i mi yn ymddangos fel y gwrthwyneb i fodelu.' Prynodd Gwendoline Davies y gwaith hwn ym Mharis ym 1918. Pan oedd ar ei fenthyg i Oriel Tate ym 1922, canmolwyd ef gan Roger Fry fel 'un o'r mwyaf o holl dirluniau Cézanne.'

Your description of the painting as depicting hills near l'Estaque (a few miles from Marseilles) has not caught up with your re-titling of the picture as 'The François Zola Dam' (a short distance east of Aix). Given the importance of the painting (someone I know calls it the greatest work of art in any UK gallery) it would be good to sort this out.

Dear Astrid,
Thank you for your enquiry and interest in our artwork.
Yes we do have Gwendoline Davies’s receipt. She bought this painting and ‘Provençal Landscape’ from the dealer Bernheim Jeune for £2,750 in February 1918.
Gauguin’s wife Mette sold the painting to Danish collector Edvard Brandes when Gauguin went to Tahiti in 1891 leaving her with very little money. He tried to buy it back in 1894 but was unsuccessful. Gauguin’s gouache based on this painting is now in the Ny Carslberg Glyptotek, Copenhagen. Brandes later sold the painting to Baron Denis Cochin, from whom it was purchased by Bernheim Jeune.

Thanks,
Anne

Hello, I am studying this painting as part of my OU MA in art history....do you have the bill of sale from when Gwendoline Davies bought it along with another Cezanne ? Also wondering where Gauguin's gouache is now ? And who did he sell or give Cezzanne's painting to ?
It is a fantastic work..we are lucky to have it in Wales !
Thankyou..any information much appreciated.

Of our three Cezanne oils two are on loan to an Italian venue until April next year. The remaining work The Francois Zola Dam is on display in our French Impressionism and Post-Impressionism Gallery [Gallery 16 on the map].
