Portrait of the Artist's Son, Paul Cézanne

Portrait of the Artist’s Son — Paul Cézanne, 1885

Intimate, quietly observant, and deeply personal — Paul Cézanne's Portrait of the Artist's Son (1885) offers a rare glimpse into the private world of one of the greatest painters in history. The subject is Paul fils, Cézanne's only child, depicted with the same patient, analytical gaze that the artist brought to his still lifes and landscapes.

Cézanne (1839–1906) painted his son numerous times throughout his life, and these portraits are among his most tender works. Unlike the monumental ambition of his Card Players or his Mont Sainte-Victoire series, this portrait is a study in quiet concentration — the boy rendered with Cézanne's characteristic layered brushwork and subtle modulation of color that would go on to revolutionize modern art and directly inspire Picasso, Matisse, and the Cubists.

Now part of the collection of the National Gallery of Art, Washington D.C., this work is a testament to Cézanne's genius for finding the monumental in the everyday. Printed on premium luster photo paper, this museum-quality reproduction brings its warmth and subtlety into your home.
