Monument to Paul Cezanne

Aix-en-Provence, France

Description:

The monument is a full-length figure of the artist, standing with his arms crossed on a cane and a hat pulled over his eyes - this is how Paul Cezanne preferred to wear his headdress. This monument was erected against the backdrop of evergreen plantations in the park, where the painter loved to walk. For a long time, Paul Cézanne lived away from home, but, returning to his native Aix-en-Provence in 1886, the last 20 years of his life were spent here, enjoying the beauty of his native city.

Being one of the most prominent representatives of post-impressionism of his period, Paul Cezanne immortalized his name with such works as “Girl at the Piano”, “In Rooms” and “Overture to Tannhäuser”. Connoisseurs of art from different countries visit this monument, paying tribute to the talent of the painter.
