The Courtauld Gallery holds the most important group of works by Paul Cézanne (1839-1906) in Britain. This exhibition presents the entire collection for the first time with major paintings such as the iconic Montagne Sainte-Victoire (1887) and Card Players (1892-5) shown alongside rarely seen drawings and watercolours.

Also on display will be a previously unexhibited 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 will add fresh insights into the artist's working methods and techniques. This celebration of the Courtauld's Cézannes will be the stunning climax of the 75th anniversary programme.
