  <default_description>The Masterpiece is the most autobiographical of the twenty novels in Zola's Rougon-Macquart series. Set in the 1860s and 1870s, it provides a unique insight into his career as a writer and his relationship with Cezanne, a friend since their schooldays in Aix-en-Provence. It also presents a well-documented account of the turbulent Bohemian world in which the Impressionists came to prominence despite the conservatism of the Academy and the ridicule of the general public.</default_description>

However, The Masterpiece is essential to an understanding of the French art world in the latter half of the nineteenth century.

I've never seen anything like it in any of his other books.  After an amazing first chapter, his protagonist turns into a 2-dimensional stick figure.

    <body><![CDATA[Watched a terrific BBC series on the Impressionists and there was mention of this work and the rift it caused between Cezanne, a childhood friend, and Zola. Cezanne apparently took a lot personally. The intro. suggests the main character is an amalgamation of Cezanne, Manet, and Zola himself.
