"Provence," "apples" and "bathers" are probably the three words that first come to mind when we consider Cezanne's abiding subject matter. Throughout his life, the artist, whom posterity has often portrayed as a pastoral hermit, was never too far from the capital. In fact, Cezanne moved back and forth between Aix and Paris at least 20 times, but, unlike virtually all of his contemporaries, he rarely depicted Paris on canvas.
