Paul Cezanne was a French artist whose main style
incorporated the post-impressionism movement. His artwork is meant to display a
different and radical type of style when compared to the art of his time. This
portrait title Afternoon in Naples
displays a naked woman laying in bed with a naked man, as a servant enters the
room with a refreshment. The work is meant to display the current freedom of
sensuality that existed in the city at the time. I chose this piece because it
is important not to feel restrained or limited when it comes to sensuality and
I believe that this piece presents that point of view perfectly.
