Early years and family ?In 1852 Cézanne entered the Collège Bourbon , where he met and became friends with?émile Zola and?Baptistin Baille—three friends who came to be known as les trois inséparables (the three inseparables). In 1857 he began attending the Free Municipal School of Drawing in Aix, where he studied drawing under Joseph Gibert, a Spanish monk.From 1858 to 1861, complying with his fathers wishes, Cézanne attended the law school of the?University of Aix, while also receiving drawing lessons. Going against the objections of his banker father, he committed himself to pursuing his artistic development and left Aix for Paris in 1861. He was strongly encouraged to make this decision by Zola, who was already living in the capital at the time. Eventually, his father reconciled with Cézanne and supported his choice of career. Cézanne later received an inheritance of 400,000?francs?(￡218,363.62) from his father, which rid him of all financial worries.
