Paul CA zanne Boy Red Vest Le GarAz au gilet rouge
Paul Cezanne: Boy in a Red Vest (Le Garcon au gilet rouge), Paul Cezanne, 1888-1890, Oil on canvas, Cezanne lived in an apartment on the Ile Saint-Louis in Paris between 1888 and 1890. This painting of an Italian boy is one of the many figural works he produced at that location. While we know the boys identity--he was a professional model named Michelangelo de Rosa who posed for Cezanne several times--the artist didn t intend this as a portrait in the traditional sense. Rather, the painting is perhaps better understood as a study in human psychology and emotion. Shoulders slumped, mouth turned down, eyes staring into the distance, the boy seems a picture of melancholy. Overall: 25 3/4 x 21 1/2 in. (65.4 x 54.6 cm)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Paul Cezanne's masterpiece, "Boy in a Red Vest (Le Garcon au gilet rouge)" painted between 1888 and 1890. During this period, Cezanne resided in an apartment on the picturesque Ile Saint-Louis in Paris. The painting depicts an Italian boy named Michelangelo de Rosa, who served as a professional model for the artist on multiple occasions. Although not intended as a conventional portrait, this artwork delves into the depths of human psychology and emotion. The boy's slumped shoulders, downturned mouth, and distant gaze evoke a profound sense of melancholy. Through his brushstrokes and use of color, Cezanne masterfully captures the complexities of the human experience. Measuring at approximately 25 3/4 x 21 1/2 inches (65.4 x 54.6 cm), this oil-on-canvas piece is just one among many figural works produced by Cezanne during his time on Ile Saint-Louis. It offers viewers a glimpse into the artist's exploration of form and expression. As you admire this print, let yourself be drawn into the enigmatic world that Cezanne creates—a world where emotions are laid bare through every stroke of paint. Whether displayed in your home or office space, this remarkable artwork will undoubtedly spark conversations about artistry, introspection, and our shared humanity.
