In this gallery, we showcase 30 paintings by Paul Cézanne (1839-1906), the French post-impressionist artist and one of the pioneers of modern art in the late 19th century. The selection here is presented in chronological sequence to show the artist's progression in style from his Renaissance-inspired early works to the impressionism of his mid-career, and then his fully mature post-impressionism work that proved so influential on later artists like Henri Matisse (1869-1954) and Pablo Picasso (1881-1973). The gallery shows us Cézanne's family members, the various places he lived, the subjects he returned to many times in his career like oranges, Mont Sainte-Victoire, and bathers, and his most celebrated works.
I paint as I see, as I feel – and I have very strong sensations.
