Historical artist profile curated by New Renaissance. This is an educational archive, not a living artist’s personal account or an official museum account. Paul Cézanne (1839–1906) was a French painter who reconsidered how color and brushwork could build a sense of solid form. His still lifes, portraits, and landscapes balance observation with carefully organized compositions. Repeated studies of Montagne Sainte-Victoire and familiar objects became an important reference for later modern painters, including the Cubists. This selection presents three works held by the National Gallery of Art, Washington. Each includes collection details, museum credit, and a source link. Images are released under the museum’s CC0 Open Access policy. The museum does not sponsor or endorse this profile. Profile image: Still Life with Apples and Peaches.
