Paul CA zanne Card Players Les Joueurs de cartes
Paul Cezanne: The Card Players (Les Joueurs de cartes), Paul Cezanne, 1890-1892, Oil on canvas, For much of the 1890s, Paul Cezanne lived at his fathers estate in Aix-en-Provence, painting the southern France landscape and the people who worked on the property. Here, Cezanne shows a group of farmhands enjoying a game of cards--one of five canvases he devoted to this subject. In this one, the largest and most ambitious of the series, Cezanne gives these humble figures an imposing presence, depicting them on a scale usually reserved for grander subjects like history or mythology. His card players appear stoic and silent--quite unlike the rowdy figures in the 17th-century tavern scenes by which he was surely inspired. Overall: 53 1/4 x 71 5/8 in. (135.3 x 181.9 cm)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Paul Cezanne's masterpiece, "The Card Players". Painted between 1890 and 1892, during his stay at his father's estate in Aix-en-Provence, Cezanne captures the essence of southern France through both its landscape and the people who toiled on the property. In this particular canvas, which is the largest and most ambitious of a series of five, Cezanne elevates these humble farmhands by depicting them on a grand scale typically reserved for subjects like history or mythology. Despite being inspired by rowdy figures from 17th-century tavern scenes, Cezanne presents his card players as stoic and silent. Their solemn expressions hint at an underlying narrative that remains open to interpretation. The composition exudes a sense of quiet intensity as these individuals engage in their game with unwavering focus. Measuring at an impressive 53 1/4 x 71 5/8 inches (135.3 x 181.9 cm), this print allows viewers to appreciate every intricate detail meticulously crafted by Cezanne's brushstrokes. It serves as a testament to the artist's ability to elevate ordinary subjects into extraordinary works of art. Whether you are an art enthusiast or simply captivated by the beauty found within everyday life, this print offers a glimpse into Paul Cezanne's masterful portrayal of humanity against the backdrop of rural France in the late nineteenth century.
