In March Eurostar brought the cupid statue painted by Cézanne in his masterpiece ‘Still Life with Plaster Cupid’ to London, so that the two items could be displayed together over a century since the cupid was painted in 1895. The two pieces will be displayed at The Courtauld Gallery until Wednesday 6th May 2015.
The display of the two objects provides a unique opportunity for viewers to consider how Cezanne treated his subjects as equally significant, from the everyday to the monumental, and touches on his art historical influences. So maybe go have a look over the Bank Holiday Weekend.
