(*Art trivia note *) - In 2011 Paul Cezanne's 1892 painting "The Card Players" sold for $250 million (U.S.) to an anonymous bidder.
Paul Cezanne (1839-1906) was one of the noted pioneers of the 19th century "Post-Impressionist" movement that took place in France at the time.
I think it's kinda interesting to note that, during his lifetime, Cezanne's artistic work was often met with very negative criticism.
