The Negro Scipion
The Negro Scipion is an early painting by Paul Cézanne. The work may be a fragment of a larger composition, or it may be a preparatory study for another work.[1] Scipion was reportedly a frequent model at the Académie Suisse, which Cézanne attended after his arrival in Paris.[1] Émile Zola gave the painting to Claude Monet, and it remained in the possession of the Monet family until 1950.[2] The French art critic Louis Vauxcelles described it as a "striking masterpiece" and called it "worthy of Delacroix."[1]
