Description of the artwork
Work: Apples and napkin
Artist: Paul Cézanne
Year: 1879
Museum: Sompo Museum of Art
Dimensions: 60.3 x 49.2 cm
Created in 1879, the painting Apples and napkin immerses the viewer in the daily life of the Aix-en-Provence region, the cradle of postimpressionism. Cézanne, an iconic figure of this movement, managed to capture through this painting a part of the Provençal essence. Today preserved at the Sompo Museum of Art, this work measuring 60.3 x 49.2 cm testifies to the genius of its creator, rooted in a period of profound artistic evolution.
“I love apples, every shape, every light. They dance on the canvas.” Thus Cézanne spoke of the inspiration behind his painting. Perhaps it was a spring morning when the sweet scents of the orchards fluttered, inspiring the artist to capture a simple moment of beauty. A napkin spread out, apples on the table, and the moment becomes eternity thanks to his painting.
In this pictorial work, Cézanne delivers a masterful composition where the apples, symbols of nature and life, coexist with a napkin, an element of a domestic scene. The canvas invites a calm contemplation, fostering a dialogue between the object and the eye. The shapes are drawn with an almost architectural approach, revealing his deep understanding of color and structure.
Apples and napkin is positioned between his early exploratory works and his bolder compositions. Associated with The Montagne Sainte-Victoire and The Card Players, this painting reflects Cézanne's technical and emotional evolution, marking a pivotal period where the mastery of landscape becomes as intimate as still life.
Cézanne's technique, based on delicate glazes and bold impastos, builds a striking depth in Apples and napkin. Each layer of paint reveals a story, told through the gesture of his brush. The play of light that emanates from this composition is a symbol of the artist's relentless pursuit of visual truth and the vibration of textures.
The warm hues of the canvas embrace a sublime color range: from the vibrant reds of the apples to the soft whites of the napkin. Each color is an emotion, evoking warmth and serenity, where contrasts sculpt the very essence of the composition. Light plays through the shades, creating a vibrant dialogue between the elements of the scene.
In creating this reproduction of Apples and napkin, the copyist artist uses museum-quality oil paints on linen canvas. Each painting begins with a manual sketch, followed by successive layers, ensuring perfect respect for the original proportions. The pigments, such as Prussian blue and alizarin crimson, are carefully chosen, reflecting the authenticity of the work. Each painting requires about 40 hours of dedication, where each gesture is crucial.
A UV-protective varnish protects this reproduction while ensuring the durability of the colors. This is not simply a copy, but a second work, alive and full of emotion, ready to convey the visual effect of the masterpiece original.
