The city of Aix-en-Provence has finally reconciled with its native artist Paul Cezanne, declaring 2025 "Cezanne's Year" and hosting an extensive exhibit at the Granet Museum, which features over 130 paintings by the French impressionist painter. The exhibition, titled "Cezanne au Jas de Bouffan," showcases Cezanne's artistic evolution from his early works to his pre-cubist style, with pieces originating from museums and collectors worldwide. The event coincides with major restoration efforts at the three-storey Jas de Bouffan manor home, where Cezanne lived in the late 19th century and adorned its living room with colorful frescos for his banker father's approval.
