Cezanne seascape mural discovered at artist's childhood home

Entrée du port (Entrance to the Port), a previously unknown mural discovered at Paul Cezanne's childhood home in Aix-en-Provence (Ville d'Aix-en-Provence / Philippe Biolatto)

A mural by Paul Cezanne has been discovered at the artist's family home, Bastide du Jas de Bouffan, in Aix-en-Provence, France.

The previously unknown large-scale artwork by the great Post-Impressionist painter, which experts are referring to as Entrée du port (Entrance to the Port), is in poor condition. It was hidden under layers of wallpaper, plaster and paint. But despite the gaping hole at its center, the composition clearly depicts a harbor scene with boats and buildings set against a streaked white and blue sky.
