Biography: Paul Cezanne (1839-1906, France) was born in Aix-en-Provence in the south of France. His father was a successful banker, which afforded Cezanne a measure of security unavailable to most artists of his day, as well as a large inheritance. He initially studied law, but continued to study drawing on the side. In 1861, at the prompting of Emile Zola, who he'd met in the French equivalent of high school, Cezanne abandoned his legal studies and moved to Paris to take up art full-time.

In Paris, Cezanne soon met many of the Impressionist painters, often going on landscape painting excursions with Camille Pissaro. Although he was largely a self-taught painter, he was to become one of the most influential painters in the Post-Impressionism art movement, including being a major influence on the development of Cubism by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. He died in 1906, at age 67, in the town of his birth.
