"Preparation for the Funeral (also known as The Autopsy)" is a painting by French artist Paul Cézanne, created circa 1869. This early work of Cézanne is significant as it reflects the artist's formative years and his initial explorations into the themes of mortality and the human condition. The painting depicts a somber scene of figures gathered around a body in preparation for a funeral, with the central activity being the autopsy. The subject matter is a departure from the more traditional and idyllic themes of the time, showcasing Cézanne's interest in more realistic and sometimes unsettling aspects of life.

The painting is executed in a style that predates Cézanne's later, more mature approach characterized by structured brushwork and a focus on the underlying geometry of composition. In "Preparation for the Funeral," the brushstrokes are looser, and the color palette is darker, conveying the gravity of the scene. The work is an example of Cézanne's early experimentation with different artistic influences, including those of the Old Masters and contemporary realist trends.

Although not as celebrated as his later landscapes and still lifes, "Preparation for the Funeral" provides valuable insight into Cézanne's artistic development and his willingness to engage with challenging subject matter. The painting is also indicative of the psychological depth Cézanne sought to achieve in his work, a quality that would become more pronounced as his style evolved.

"Preparation for the Funeral" is part of Cézanne's oeuvre that contributed to his reputation as a pivotal figure in the transition from 19th-century Impressionism to the 20th century's new line of artistic inquiry, ultimately influencing the development of modern art. The painting is held in a private collection or museum, and it continues to be studied for its historical significance and its place within the broader context of Cézanne's body of work.
