L'Œuvre by Émile Zola
"L'Œuvre" by Émile Zola is a novel published in 1886. This fourteenth entry in the Rougon-Macquart series follows Claude Lantier, a revolutionary painter struggling to create his ultimate masterpiece in mid-19th century Paris. As Claude challenges the artistic establishment with his radical approach to painting real subjects outdoors, his obsessive pursuit of an impossible vision threatens his friendships, his family, and his sanity. A fictionalized account of Zola's friendship with Paul Cézanne,
the novel explores the emerging Impressionist movement and the cost of uncompromising artistic ambition. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
