The Viaduct at L'Estaque (French: Viaduc à l'Estaque) is an oil on canvas painting by Georges Braque, executed in 1907. The painting has the dimensions of 63.5 by 78.74 cm. It is housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
Georges Braque made several travels to the south of France, from 1906 to 1910. He took particular interest for the port of L'Estaque, west of Marseille, where he did several paintings. Braque shows the influence of the Fauves and of Paul Cézanne in the landscapes he did there in 1907. The nonnaturalistic colours of the Fauves are combined with the reduction to simple geometric forms of the landscape, in s similar style to Cézanne. Braque own style is also characteristic of this work. By the same time, Braque got to know his friend Pablo Picasso's new style of cubism, which he would soon adopt.[1]
