JAS DE BOUFFAN
(36 oils, 17 watercolors)


Bought in 1859 by Cézanne's father, the Jas de Bouffan country house remained in the family until 1899. There, for 40 years, Paul Cézanne found his main sources of inspiration. He painted his first large early works directly onto the walls of the large room on the ground floor, then planted his easel in the yard in front of the country house, at the farm, by the pond, along the alley of chestnut trees, creating a total of 36 oils and 17 watercolors which represented his family life.
