In the life of Paul Cézanne
The whole lifeMarch 1878
His Father Learns of Hortense and Their Son
Owing to a careless letter from Chocquet, his father learned of the hidden family and cut his allowance in half; Cézanne had to ask Zola for help. In September the father relented and granted the family 400 francs.
March 1886
Zola's Novel "The Masterpiece" and the Crisis of a Friendship
Zola published "The Masterpiece" (L'Œuvre), a novel about a failed painter, Claude Lantier, in whom Cézanne recognized himself. It was long believed that the friendship ended forever, but a rediscovered letter of 1887 shows that relations continued for some time.

Death of His Father and Inheritance
After the death of Louis-Auguste, Cézanne, together with his mother and sisters, inherited his fortune, including the Jas de Bouffan; the artist's financial situation eased considerably ("he left me an income of 25,000 francs").
