Paul Cézanne's famous paintings of peasant card players have long been considered to be among his most iconic and powerful works. The Courtauld put on a landmark exhibition in 2010, the first to bring together the majority of these remarkable paintings alongside a magnificent group of closely related portraits of Provençal peasants and rarely seen preparatory oil sketches, watercolours and exquisite drawings.

The Courtauld Gallery's two masterpieces from this series, The Card Players and Man with a Pipe, are joined by exceptional loans from international collections, including the Metropolitan Museum in New York, the Musée d'Orsay in Paris and the State Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg, to offer a visual feast of some of the artist's finest paintings.
