Mont Sainte-Victoire

Mont Sainte-Victoire, painted by Paul Cézanne in the early 1900s, showcases a landscape dominated by the rugged mountain in southern France that fascinated the artist throughout his life. Cézanne uses broad, layered brushstrokes to capture the mountain’s form and the surrounding fields and trees, creating a rhythmic pattern of colors and shapes. Rather than focusing on minute details, he emphasizes the structure and geometry of the scene, blurring the line between natural landscape and abstract form. The painting has a calm yet dynamic quality, as Cézanne’s exploration of depth and space feels both personal and monumental, reflecting his evolving approach to capturing nature.
