Atelier Cezanne

Pick any four 4-inch tiles — National Parks you've been to, a Smokies set, the four seasons of one place. $ for a set of , cork-backed, ready to live on the table.

Each tile ships in a kraft box, tied with cream ribbon, with a handwritten note from the studio if you'd like to add one.

Three or five different vistas, hung together — a chapter of places you've been, or want to go.

Atelier Cézanne, also known as Atelier des Lauves, sits at 9 avenue Paul Cézanne, on a low hill about 1.5 kilometres north of central Aix-en-Provence in the Bouches-du-Rhône department of southern France. It is roughly thirty minutes by car from Marseille.

Paul Cézanne bought the small property on the chemin des Lauves in November 1901 and drew the plans himself. Construction took about ten months, and he moved into the new studio in September 1902. He worked there nearly every day until his death in October 1906.

Cézanne made many of his final still lifes and figure compositions in this studio, including the large Bathers canvas now at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. He also walked ten minutes up the hill to the Terrain des Peintres to paint his late views of Mont Sainte-Victoire.

Cézanne had a tall vertical slot built into one wall so his largest canvases, the late Grandes Baigneuses compositions, could be moved in and out of the upper-floor studio. The room is otherwise reached by a narrow staircase a full canvas could not have managed.

Yes. The studio is open daily from late June to early November and reopened in June 2025 after a major restoration. Access is by guided tour only, in French or English, booked through the Aix-en-Provence Tourist Office. Full admission is €9.50; reduced €7.50.

Jas de Bouffan was the Cézanne family country house west of Aix, where Paul painted from his teens onward. Atelier des Lauves is the studio he built for himself in 1902, on a hill north of the city, and used until his death in 1906.

It has been a meaningful gift for our customers who care about Cézanne, painting students, and people who have walked the studio in Aix. The Small or Medium reads well as a desk piece or studio talisman; a Coaster with a handwritten note from the studio carries the same intent in smaller form.

The palette (stained-glass blues and greens, warm ochres, a textured oil surface) sits comfortably in Provençal-modern interiors, French country rooms, and gallery-wall arrangements built around art history. It also reads well in a clean Mediterranean-modern or oak-and-linen scheme that lets the colour do the work.

Yes, for the current return to artist-studio aesthetics (exposed wood, well-worn objects, painted surfaces) and for the broader Mediterranean-modern category that has stayed steady through 2025 and 2026. The piece anchors a wall the way an old French print would, without the auction-house price tag.

For most sofas, a single Large reads as one strong painting and centres the wall. Over a console or sideboard, the 4-tile Mural composition gives more presence without overwhelming. For a primary living-room wall, the 9-tile Mural is the room's anchor.

Yes. For bathrooms, showers, and kitchen backsplashes, anywhere with water and steam, order the tile in our Dura Satin or Matte finish. Both are scratch-resistant and built for vertical installation. The Glossy finish is best kept to dry wall art.

A soft microfibre cloth and clean water is all that is needed. For kitchen backsplashes, mild dish soap is fine. Skip abrasive cleaners, bleach, and rough sponges. The colour lives in the ceramic surface and reads its best when it stays smooth.

Yes. Every WenderVista piece is original to the studio, curated by Reid Wender, and produced in-house in Knoxville, Tennessee. We do not license other artists' work or sell open-edition reproductions of museum paintings.
