"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 known for its thematic complexity and its representation of Cézanne's analytical approach to nature. Among the series, there are five paintings of different sizes, varying compositions, and varying numbers of players. The works are considered a cornerstone of Cézanne's work during the period, as well as in the larger context of French art.

The paintings depict Provençal peasants immersed in smoking and playing cards. The scenes are devoid of the frivolity and charm found in earlier depictions of card-playing scenes by other artists. Instead, Cézanne's card players are solemn, focused individuals, engaged in a quiet, intense game. The series is often praised for its reduction of the human form to its essential geometric shapes, a technique that influenced the development of Cubism and abstract art in the 20th century.

The largest painting of the series is held at the Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia, while the others are distributed across various art institutions, including the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Courtauld Institute of Art in London, and a private collection. The exact painting referred to as "The Card Players2" is not clearly identified in the art historical record, as the works are typically referred to by their location or ownership rather than a numerical sequence.

Each version of "The Card Players" is unique in its composition, the number of figures, the presence of onlookers, and the arrangement of the space within the painting. Cézanne's meticulous method, involving deep study and numerous preparatory sketches and studies, is evident in the detail and precision of the final works. The series has been celebrated for its portrayal of the human condition and the artist's mastery of form and color, which paved the way for future avant-garde movements.

The Card Players series has commanded high prices in the art market; one of the versions was sold in 2011 for a price believed to be over $250 million, making it one of the most expensive paintings ever sold at the time. The series continues to be a subject of scholarly study and is frequently exhibited in retrospectives of Cézanne's work, allowing viewers to engage with one of the most significant contributions to the legacy of modern art.
