This is an accurate and sensitive hand painted reproduction of Cézanne’s original oil painting Still Life with Onions and Bottle – Created somewhere between 1895 and 1900: It is difficult for Cézanne’s work to be dated more specifically because the artist rarely signed and dated his work: Although historians are sure this piece was created during the artist’s ‘anti-architectural’ period – During which he painted the now famous Still Life with Apples and Oranges.

The original Still Life with Onions and Bottle now hangs in the Louvre, Paris: Cool hues and flamboyant although controlled elements create the composition. Without drama the vertical and horizontals create a rhythm that is easy on the eye – Delicate, even a little subdued and yet rich and full of atmosphere. Unquestionably, this beautiful art work has been a source of exploration and meditation for centuries.

The form of the onion displays a new mature complexity entering into Cézanne’s art works at the time: Indeed, this being more characteristic of his later works. Like the original Onions, Bottle and Plate offers up an array of subtle points of interest – the composition has been harmoniously grouped and beautifully executed with a uniqueness that tells us: this is indeed a work of art and this is indeed a Cézanne.
