In the life of Paul Cézanne
The whole life1882
His Only Appearance at the Official Salon
His friend Antoine Guillemet, having joined the Salon jury, got Cézanne admitted as his "pupil." The exhibited portrait (probably of the artist's father) was hung in a poorly lit spot and went unnoticed.
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.
28 April 1886
Married: Marie-Hortense Fiquet
28 April 1886
Marriage to Hortense Fiquet
He married Hortense Fiquet in Aix in the presence of his parents. The marriage was concluded not out of love but to secure the rights of their fourteen-year-old son Paul as a legitimate heir.
October 1886
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").
