More about this artwork

The drawing featured on our website is titled "Study of the Allegorical Figure of Health in Rubens’ ‘The Birth of Louis XIII’," rendered by the hand of French Post-Impressionist master Paul Cézanne between 1880 and 1883. This study reveals Cézanne's deep engagement with the works of the Old Masters, particulary evident in his fascination with Peter Paul Rubens.This sketch, executed in soft pencil, is an expressive and fluid exploration of form. It captures the essence of the allegorical figure of Health, illustrating Cézanne’s keen interest in human anatomy and the dynamism of Rubens' compositions. The light strokes and delicate shading hint at the figure’s graceful pose, an embodiment of tranquility and well-being, which were attributes commonly associated with health in allegorical art.This piece not only showcases Cézanne’s skillful hand but also provides a window into his artistic process and the studies that informed his larger, more finished works. Through drawings like this, Cézanne dissected the techniques of his predecessors to develop his unique artistic voice, which would eventually lay the groundwork for modern art as we know it.
