Paul Cézanne was a post-Impressionist painter in the late 19th century who developed a unique style that influenced later artistic movements like Cubism. Some of his most famous works included landscapes of Mont Sainte-Victoire and repeated paintings of bathers. Cézanne aimed to make Impressionism more solid and lasting in his works. He often painted the same subjects multiple times in pursuit of perfection and drew inspiration from his surroundings in Aix-en-Provence, France.
