Über diesen Titel

His Masterpiece (“L’Oeuvre”) offers a vivid fictional exploration of the vibrant Parisian art scene in the mid-19th century, capturing the rise of Realism, Naturalism, and Impressionism. Centered around the complex friendship between Emile Zola and Paul Cezanne, the narrative draws inspiration from renowned artists like Eduard Manet and Claude Monet. The protagonist, Claude Lantier, is a revolutionary painter determined to challenge the traditional art establishment, which favored studio work and classical themes. Instead, Lantier takes his canvas outdoors, embracing natural light and everyday subjects. Despite gathering a small circle of supporters in art, literature, architecture, and music, he struggles against public misunderstanding and ultimately succumbs to obsession and despair. This poignant tale, which chronicles the artists tragic inability to fulfill his potential, is believed to have contributed to a lasting rift between Cezanne and Zola. - Summary by Lisa Reichert
