Notes |
English: This scene of peasants playing cards was undertaken in the early 1890s as part of a painting campaign made up of five distillations of the subject. Cézanne enlisted local farmhands to serve as models, and he may have drawn inspiration for his Provençal genre scene from a painting of the same theme by the Le Nain brothers that was in the museum in Aix. The Metropolitan’s picture seems to have launched the series. Next came a version twice its size, which includes an additional figure – a small standing child -- now in the Barnes Foundation in Merion, Pennsylvania. The last three compositions depict just two card players: Cézanne continued to pare away extraneous details in these successive renditions (The Courtauld Gallery, London; Musée d'Orsay, Paris; and private collection).[1] |
