The Basket of Apples, 1893

Paul Cézanne

Oil on canvas · 65 x 80 cm

A tabletop of fruit and tilted bottles that quietly breaks the rules of perspective.

Cézanne tilts the table, splits the bottle's axis and lets apples defy gravity — showing an object from several angles at once. This restless, searching still life quietly broke the rules of perspective and lit the fuse for Cubism and modern art.
