"Hortense Breast Feeding Paul" is an 1872 painting by Paul Cézanne, depicting his wife Hortense Fiquet breastfeeding their son Paul. The intimate scene is rendered in Cézanne's signature style, characterized by bold brushstrokes, muted colors, and a focus on form. The painting is known for its raw emotionality, capturing the tenderness and vulnerability of motherhood. While Cézanne's early works often reflected Impressionist influences, this painting demonstrates his evolving style that would later contribute to the development of Post-Impressionism. The painting, currently in a private collection, is considered a significant example of Cézanne's exploration of domestic themes and his innovative approach to painting.
