Still Life with Water Jug 1893

Paul Cézanne's "Still Life with Water Jug" (1893) is a prime example of his exploration of form and color in still life. The painting, now residing in the Tate Britain, showcases Cézanne's signature style, characterized by geometric shapes and vibrant brushstrokes. The composition features a water jug, apples, a plate, and other objects, arranged in a dynamic and somewhat abstract manner. The interplay of light and shadow, as well as the contrasting textures of the objects, creates a sense of depth and volume, typical of Cézanne's work. This painting captures the artist's pursuit of portraying the essence of everyday objects, highlighting the interplay of light and color to achieve a sense of solidity and presence in the composition.
