Paul CA zanne Life Skull Nature morte au crAne
Paul Cezanne: Still Life with Skull (Nature morte au crane), Paul Cezanne, 1896-1898, Oil on canvas, Skulls appear frequently in the European still life tradition, serving as reminders of the fleetingness of life. Cezanne tended to avoid such props, however, favoring more ordinary household items like napkins, fruit, and ceramic vessels. It wasn t until the last decade of his career that Cezanne began to represent skulls with some regularity--perhaps reflecting a preoccupation with his own mortality. The smudges of orange paint across the eye socket are probably the result of this canvas leaning against another in his Aix-en-Provence studio. Overall: 21 3/8 x 25 3/4 in. (54.3 x 65.4 cm)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Paul Cezanne's "Still Life with Skull (Nature morte au crane)" painted between 1896 and 1898. Known for his preference of ordinary household objects in his still life compositions, Cezanne deviated from tradition by incorporating skulls into his work during the later years of his career. This particular piece may reflect the artist's contemplation of mortality, as skulls have long served as reminders of life's transience within European still life art. The oil on canvas painting showcases a skull placed amidst various everyday items such as napkins, fruit, and ceramic vessels. The meticulous brushwork and vibrant colors bring depth to this composition. Notably, smudges of orange paint across the eye socket suggest that this canvas leaned against another in Cezanne's studio in Aix-en-Provence. Measuring at 21 3/8 x 25 3/4 inches (54.3 x 65.4 cm), this print allows viewers to appreciate the intricate details and symbolism present in Cezanne's work. It serves as a testament to the artist's ability to infuse profound meaning into seemingly mundane subjects.
