The Courtauld Gallery holds the most important group of works by Paul Cézanne (1839-1906) in Britain. This book presents the entire collection for the first time, with major paintings such as the iconic Montagne Sainte-Victoire (1887) and Card Players (1892-95) shown alongside rarely seen drawings and watercolors.

Also considered are a significant group of nine autograph letters in which Cézanne reflects upon the principles of his artistic practice. Extensive new research by the Courtauld's Department of Conservation and Technology adds fresh insights into the artist's working methods and techniques.
