"Fastnacht (Mardi Gras)" is a renowned painting by the French Post-Impressionist artist Paul Cézanne, created circa 1888. The painting, also known as "Pierrot and Harlequin" (French: "Pierrot et Arlequin"), features two figures dressed in the traditional commedia dell'arte costumes, which are often associated with the carnival celebrations of Mardi Gras. The figure on the left is dressed as Pierrot, a character known for his naiveté and white, billowy costume, while the figure on the right is Harlequin, recognizable by his colorful, diamond-patterned outfit.

This work is significant in Cézanne's oeuvre as it showcases his interest in exploring the human figure, a departure from his more frequently analyzed still lifes and landscapes. The painting is also notable for its exploration of the theme of the carnival, which has been a subject of artistic interest for centuries, symbolizing the world turned upside down, where norms are challenged and roles are reversed.

Cézanne's "Fastnacht (Mardi Gras)" is characterized by its bold use of color and the artist's distinctive brushwork, which contributes to the sense of depth and volume in the composition. The figures are rendered with a sense of solidity and mass that is typical of Cézanne's mature style, and the painting is often discussed in the context of his influence on the development of modern art, particularly for its departure from the traditional perspective and its approach to form and color.

The painting is held in the collection of the Pushkin Museum in Moscow, Russia, and continues to be a subject of study for its stylistic elements and its place within the broader context of Cézanne's body of work and the development of modern art. "Fastnacht (Mardi Gras)" remains an important example of Cézanne's contribution to the narrative of art history, reflecting his unique approach to painting and his impact on the trajectory of visual art into the 20th century.
