Cezanne and the Italians at the Marmottan Museum

Event Description

Although Cézanne never visited Italy, he was strongly influenced from the outset by its artists. The exhibition unites a remarkable selection of works by Cézanne, including the iconic Mont Sainte-Victoire and the splendid pastoral and still lifes, complemented by a rare ensemble of ancient paintings by the likes of Tintoretto, alongside modern painters like Boccioni.

This extraordinary grouping serves not only to shine a light on the influence of the Italian style of different periods in the works of Cézanne’s art but also in reverse to illustrate the influence of the French artists on the Novecento painters.
