This painting is a replica of Eugene Delacroix’s watercolor “Flowers” (1847), which Cezanne saw in the collection of Victor Choquet. It was later bought by Ambroise Vollard. Cezanne’s contemporary, painter Emile Bernard, said that he saw the original watercolor painting in Cezanne’s bedroom in his house in Aix-En-Provence. The works of the greatest French colorist of the 19th century always fascinated Cezanne. It is well known that he copied Delacroix’s paintings, usually with watercolors or pencil. In this case, the copy was made in oil, which was a rare exception. The color scheme of the painting is based on saturated blue and lilac colors with dashes of ochre, orange, greenish, and white. In this kind of dialogue with his great predecessor, Cezanne adds complexity to the texture of his painting strokes, applying them with a sophisticated rhythm. On the canvas we can see a few scratches that Cezanne probably made with the reverse end of his brush. It may be that the artist remained unsatisfied with the result of his pursuit to discover the secret of Delacroix’s coloristic mastery, so these scratches could express his emotional attitude toward his own work.
