First serialized in French in 1885, �mile Zola's "The Masterpiece" is the story of naturalist painter Claude Lantier and is believed to be a highly fictionalized account of Zola's real-life friendship with the painter Paul C�zanne. The fictional artist of Zola's Bohemian world, Lantier, strives to complete a great work that will reflect his own talent and genius as a revolutionary, but struggles greatly in living up to his artistic potential. The story was perhaps too personal for C�zanne, whose correspondence with Zola ended immediately after the novel's publication. Nevertheless, this story of the misunderstood artist, brilliant but scorned by the intolerant art-going public, and their unwillingness to abandon traditional practices, epitomizes the attitudes of bohemian revolutionaries and is an enduring example of nineteenth-century French naturalism. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper and follows the translation of Edward Vizetelly.
