Discover more about Cézanne's studio

Nestled on the Lauves hill in Aix-en-Provence, the Atelier Cézanne, or Cézanne's studio, is a biographical museum offering an intimate look into the workspace of the renowned painter Paul Cézanne. From 1902 until his death in 1906, Cézanne worked daily in this studio, creating many masterpieces. In November 1901, following his mother's death and the sale of family property, Cézanne acquired an old farmhouse and land on the Lauves hill. The studio, completed in September 1902, was designed by Cézanne himself to meet his artistic needs, featuring large windows and a glass roof to maximize natural light. Here, he produced works such as The Bathers.After Cézanne's death, the studio was sold and eventually acquired by the Cézanne Memorial Committee in 1954, who opened it as a museum. Today, owned by the Tourist Office of Aix-en-Provence, the studio displays Cézanne's work equipment, models for still life paintings, and furniture. While the studio doesn't house any of Cézanne's original paintings, it offers a powerful sense of his presence and creative process.
