Paul Cézanne - Young Man and Skull (Young man on the skull) - fine art print

Original artwork information by the museum's website (© - Barnes Foundation - Barnes Foundation)

Seated at a wooden table covered with books, a young man leans on his elbow in a pose recalling Renaissance representations of Melancholia, one of the four humors. Resting on the table across from him is a skull missing its lower jaw. The man and skull gaze past one another: while the object's hollow eye sockets stare blankly, its living human counterpart seems lost in thought, perhaps pondering his own mortality. Although skulls appear in some of his early canvases from the 1860s—they were a common studio prop with a long history in still life painting—the 1897 death of Cézanne's mother and his own declining health might have prompted a return to this symbolically loaded object.
