La botella de menta
1893-1895
Paul Cézanne’s 'The Peppermint Bottle' is a masterclass in making the ordinary feel extraordinary. Notice how the table seems to tilt forward, defying gravity so we can see every apple and the crinkles of that gorgeous blue patterned tablecloth? This Post-Impressionist gem completely broke the rules of traditional perspective, paving the way for Cubism. It now hangs in London's Courtauld Gallery, where visitors can still marvel at how Cézanne turned a simple bottle of liqueur into a revolutionary geometric puzzle.
