Legacy
In 1993, the Peruvian painter Herman Braun-Vega referenced Pont de Maincy in Papaye à la guitare (Cézanne), a realistic inverted still life[5] 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.[6] This painting is "a small confidential discourse between technicians" according to the artist.[7]
