Over het werk
The still life was a principal theme throughout Paul Cézanne's artistic career. Using a repertoire of everyday objects such as fruit, jugs, bottles, and plates, he experimented with relationships of form, color, and pattern. Although the groupings seem casual, Cézanne is known to have taken great care with the arrangement, sometimes spending hours positioning the objects. In this brightly colored watercolor, Cézanne's monumental conception of form is evident: the jug, the two pots, one white, one blue, and the seven apples assume a physical presence beyond normal perception of their existence. Using small patches of color laid next to one another, Cézanne evoked the plasticity of substance, building form rather like bricks build structures. His fresh and vigorous brushstrokes are visible against the background wall as areas of greens and blues are juxtaposed.

The apples are described with red arcs around the perimeter, then yellow brushstrokes next to the red; the empty middle suggests light reflecting off the surface. Curving brushstrokes of brown, green, and blue that seem to blend with the bottom half of the wall actually compose the tablecloth.

In het leven van Paul Cézanne
Het hele leven1899
Sale of the Jas de Bouffan
At his sister's insistence he sold the deserted Jas de Bouffan estate and moved to a small town apartment at 23 rue Boulegon in Aix; a planned purchase of the Château Noir fell through. He hired a housekeeper, Madame Brémond, who cared for him until his death.
1901–1903
The Studio on the Chemin des Lauves
In 1901 he bought a plot of land north of Aix, in 1902 built a studio there to his own specifications (now the Atelier de Cézanne), and moved in in 1903; a long narrow slot was cut into the wall to admit natural light for the large "Bathers."
29 September 1902
Death of Émile Zola
Zola's death plunged Cézanne into mourning, despite their long estrangement.
15 October – 15 November 1904
A Cézanne Room at the Salon d'Automne: First Triumph
An entire room of the Salon d'Automne in Paris was devoted to Cézanne's works; this retrospective became the artist's first real success — indeed, a triumph.

Caught in a Storm and Fatal Pneumonia
While painting in the fields he was caught in a thunderstorm and lost consciousness on the way home; the exposure led to severe pneumonia. The next day he still worked in the garden on the "Portrait of the Gardener Vallier," then took to his bed and never rose again.
