Henri Matisse pawned his wife's sapphire engagement ring to buy this painting by Paul Cézanne. Matisse was intrigued by the way Cézanne applied unrealistic techniques to human figures. He studied this painting with pure fascination. It become his muse!

I would sell my rock lickety split for 'Les Trois Baigneuses' too! Wouldn't you? A girl can dream!
