"The Negro Scipio" is a painting by the French Post-Impressionist artist Paul Cézanne, believed to have been created in the early 1860s. This work is significant as it reflects Cézanne's early exploration into the human figure and his departure from the classical ideals of beauty. The painting depicts a black man, identified as Scipio, a model who posed for various artists in Paris at the time. The work is executed in a manner that combines both realism and expressive brushwork, which would later become characteristic of Cézanne's mature style.

The painting's subject matter and its title have been a point of discussion among art historians, as it engages with themes of race and representation during a period when European artists were beginning to confront and depict racial diversity more directly. "The Negro Scipio" is also notable for its departure from the Orientalist and exoticizing tendencies of some of Cézanne's contemporaries, presenting its subject with a dignified and individualized presence.

While not as widely recognized as Cézanne's later still lifes and landscapes, "The Negro Scipio" provides valuable insight into the artist's early development and his approach to portraiture. The painting is part of the collection at the São Paulo Museum of Art in Brazil, where it continues to contribute to the discourse on Cézanne's work and the broader context of 19th-century European art.

As with many of Cézanne's works, "The Negro Scipio" has been analyzed for its technique and composition, which show the artist's transition from the more traditional methods of the École des Beaux-Arts, where he studied, to a more innovative and personal style. The brushstrokes and use of color in this painting foreshadow the techniques that Cézanne would develop further in his later career, which would ultimately have a profound impact on the direction of modern art.
