Fondation Beyeler, Riehen, Switzerland
25 January to 25 May 2026

Paul Cezanne never visited Switzerland, but the country played a decisive role in shaping his posthumous reputation. Early collectors such as Rudolf Staechelin and Oskar Reinhart were among the first to recognise the importance of the French Post-Impressionist, acquiring his work at a time when it was still widely misunderstood. Their foresight helped establish Switzerland as a major centre for Cezanne’s art, a position it retains today. Fondation Beyeler, just outside Basel, holds several outstanding examples, including a view of Mont Sainte-Victoire and a number of portraits depicting members of the artist’s inner circle.
