About this picture
Hercules Resting is a public-domain drawing by Paul Cezanne, dated 1897. Graphite on ivory wove paper. The file comes from Art Institute of Chicago.
“Hercules Resting” (1897) is built the way Cézanne built landscape, still life, and portrait: small planes of color, often the mountain Sainte-Victoire or a few ordinary objects.
About the artist
Paul Cézanne (1839–1906) was a French painter who rebuilt landscape, still life, and portrait out of small planes of color. Later artists treated that construction as a start toward Cubism.
