''The Card Players'' is a series of oil paintings by the French Post-Impressionist artist Paul Cézanne painted during Cézanne's final period in the early 1890s. The series is considered by critics to be among his most important and complex works. Comprising five paintings of varying sizes, the series depicts Provençal peasants immersed in smoking and playing cards. The players are portrayed with a solemn intensity, engrossed in their game, representing a thematic departure from the typical jovial atmosphere of card game paintings from the period.

The paintings vary in size, the number of players, and the setting in which the game takes place. The largest is kept at the Musée d'Orsay, in Paris and is considered the most complex of the series, with four figures seated at a table. The other four are displayed in prestigious art galleries around the world, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Courtauld Institute of Art in London, the Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia, and a private collection.

Cézanne's approach to these works reflects his evolving style, characterized by a reduction to the essential forms of the subjects, a departure from the classical perspective, and a focus on the interplay of color and light. The Card Players series has been extensively analyzed for its stylistic innovations and its influence on the development of modern art. The paintings are often cited as precursors to Cubism, as Cézanne's method of breaking down objects into geometric shapes laid the groundwork for the Cubist movement led by artists like Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque.

The series has been celebrated not only for its artistic significance but also for its cultural impact, providing a window into the life of rural French workers of the time. The Card Players continues to be a subject of scholarly research and is frequently exhibited in retrospectives of Cézanne's work, highlighting the artist's pivotal role in the transition from 19th-century Impressionism to the 20th century's new line of artistic inquiry.
