L'œuvre en bref
The Pyramid of Skulls, produced around 1901, is a work that stands out in Cézanne's entire output. It reflects the influence of the Old Masters and the vanitas, while remaining in the tradition of still life, a genre favoured by the artist throughout his career.
The Impressionist painting presents a dark and austere composition, featuring four human skulls stacked in a pyramid shape. The skulls are placed on a table with a dark background, creating a solemn atmosphere. The play of light and shadow accentuates the reliefs and cavities of the skulls, reinforcing their expressive presence. The colour palette is dominated by brown, beige and black tones, emphasising the theme of mortality and vanity.
