Paul CA zanne Gardener Le Jardinier c. 1885 later
Paul Cezanne: Gardener (Le Jardinier), Paul Cezanne, c. 1885 (possibly later), Oil on canvas, Peasants were a popular subject for French artists in the late nineteenth century. Many painters romanticized peasants, depicting rosy-cheeked figures laboring in fields saturated with golden afternoon light. Cezannes figure is unsentimental, however. The subject is a gardener who worked on his fathers estate outside Aix-en-Provence, where Cezanne lived and worked for many years. Cezanne rhymes nature with the gardeners body: the bush behind him forms a perfect oval frame, and the tree branches at right bend to follow his contours. Overall: 25 9/16 × 21 1/4 in. (65 × 54 cm)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Paul Cezanne's unique perspective on the portrayal of peasants in late nineteenth-century France. Unlike many other artists of his time, who romanticized and idealized the lives of peasants, Cezanne takes a more unsentimental approach in depicting this gardener. The subject is an actual gardener who worked on Cezanne's father's estate near Aix-en-Provence, where the artist resided for a significant period. Cezanne skillfully merges nature with the figure of the gardener, creating a harmonious connection between man and environment. The bush behind him forms a perfect oval frame, emphasizing his presence within the natural world. Additionally, tree branches at right bend to follow his contours, further highlighting this organic relationship. Measuring 25 9/16 by 21 1/4 inches (65 by 54 cm), this oil-on-canvas artwork showcases Cezanne's mastery in capturing light and form. While others may have chosen to depict rosy-cheeked figures bathed in golden afternoon light, Cezanne presents a more realistic representation that transcends sentimentality. The Liszt Collection offers this exquisite print as part of their curated selection. It serves as a testament to Cezanne's ability to challenge artistic conventions while maintaining an undeniable beauty and depth within his work. Whether you are an art enthusiast or simply appreciate thought-provoking imagery, this print is sure to captivate your imagination and spark conversations about
