Atelier Paul Cézanne, Aix-en-Provence

Here’s another of Cézanne’s workplaces, where he worked every morning from 1902 to his death in 1906.

The atelier is seemingly frozen in time, arranged as (the historians and restorers think) he left it. Still-life models such as pottery, vases, bottles and skulls, tools, a jacket and a cherry-picking ladder are on display. Correspondence between him and his artist friends is carefully preserved and displayed in drawers.

Unfortunately for me, photography was not allowed inside.

It’s hard to see, but the large windows let in Provence’s special light.

The massive windows let in Aix’s magical light.
