The Pool at Jas de Bouffan

Post-Impressionism

The story

Jas de Bouffan wasn't Cezanne's. It belonged to his father, a wealthy banker who bought the estate in 1859 to show the family had made it. The stone lions, the pool, the statues, all of it bought to impress. Cezanne left for Paris to become a painter. When he came back home, his father talked about running the bank. Cezanne preferred painting the pool.
