Promenade Au Pays Cezanne Hermes Scarf by Toutsy (Limited Edition)

Walk in Cézanne’s Country…

Paul Cézanne is one of the most influential artists in the history of modern painting. Born in Aix-en-Provence in 1839, Cézanne studied art in Paris and was part of the Impressionistic movement at first. Over time his painting style changed and became the catalyst for other artists.

His Post-Impressionistic work and his analytical approach to nature influenced subsequent artists and laid the foundation for change from the 19th-century art concepts to radically different forms of expression such as Cubism and Fauvism.

Monsieur Cézanne loved the Provençal country side including Mont Sainte-Victoire, which the painter captured in a series of oil paintings. He died in the city of his birth in 1906.

In 2006 on the centenary of the artist’s death, Hermès issued this LIMITED orange edition of the Promenade Au Pays Cezanne by Toutsy to benefit the LA SOCIÉTÉ PAUL CEZANNE.

From his window we see the famed Mont Sainte-Victoire in the distance. The artist himself can be spotted on a walk through this breathtaking countryside that inspired him and now perhaps us…
