Pyramid of Skulls (Paul Cezanne, Post-impressionism)

Pyramid of Skulls

Pyramid of Skulls depicts four human skulls stacked in a pyramidal configuration. Painted in a pale light against a dark background, Pyramid of Skulls is exceptional in the artist's oeuvre, for "in no other painting did Cezanne place his objects so close to the viewer."
