The Card Players 1893

Paul Cézanne's "The Card Players" (1893) depicts two men engrossed in a game of cards. The painting showcases Cézanne's signature Post-Impressionist style, characterized by bold brushstrokes and a simplified, geometric treatment of form. The figures and objects are rendered with distinct planes of color, emphasizing the solidity and weight of the composition. The scene, often interpreted as a meditation on the quietude and simplicity of everyday life, offers a glimpse into the artist's fascination with capturing the essence of form and space.
