Cézanne's studio, Art museum in Lauves hill, Aix-en-Provence, France.
Description
Cézanne's studio is an art museum on Lauves hill in Aix-en-Provence that displays the original setup of an artist's workspace from the early 1900s. The building features large north-facing windows, furniture, painting equipment, and personal items that belonged to the French painter.
History
The building was constructed in 1901 and served as the painter's main workspace from 1902 to 1906. During those years he created many paintings that show the artistic direction he was exploring at the time.
Culture
The workspace carries the artist's name and reveals how he arranged his working environment. Walking through the rooms gives you a sense of how a painter practiced his craft in the early 1900s.
Practical
The museum sits on a quiet path outside the town center, so reaching it involves a walk up the hill. Wear comfortable shoes and allow unhurried time to look around, as the small collection rewards careful attention.
Did you know?
A vertical slot in the wall was built specifically to help move large paintings between the floors of the building. This practical detail shows how the artist adapted his workspace to fit his working needs.
