This painting is considered one of Cezanne's most famous works of art. Paul Cezanne was born in Aix Provence, France. Later he returned to his home town to paint and it was there that he died. His novel way of painting and break through creativity was not fully accepted until after his death. However, his courage to explore ways to simplify a subject and eventually fracture its form helped to forge the early 1900's form of art called Cubism. It has been said that he influenced Matisse and Picasso in this age of art known as the Post Impressionism.
