Dedicated to Paul Cézanne and Pierre-Auguste Renoir, this book compares the personalities and works of two painters who contributed decisively to the fortunes of Impressionism, influencing generations of artists. The 50 masterpieces by Cézanne and Renoir presented in this book, now housed at the Musée de l'Orangerie and the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, offer a comprehensive insight into the work of the two artists, from their early canvases of the 1870s to their more mature work in the 20th century, and represent some of their finest pictorial achievements in the genres of landscape, still life, portraits and the nude.
