Paul Cézanne loved the Provencal landscape. His good friend and mentor Hortense had a brother who owned a house in the countryside of Estaque with a clear view of Montagne Sainte-Victoire. This beautiful and uplifting oil painting is one of sixty paintings Cezanne created depicting the mountain: Without doubt, one of the artists most favored landscapes.
The rugged architecture of Sainte Victoire fed Cézanne’s experimentation with spatial form and color: Indeed, this oil painting reveals the evolution of Cubism and what would be the era of Post Impressionism – In the way forms are reduced to their most fundamental and brought together to create depth: Color and light are brought to the fore to also create depth.
Treat nature by means of the cylinder, the sphere, the cone, everything brought into proper perspective so that each side of an object or a plane is directed towards a central point. Lines parallel to the horizon give breadth... lines perpendicular to this horizon give depth – Paul Cézanne.
Paul Cézanne was born in Aix-en-Provence on January 18th 1839. He was a revolutionary and this work is among those created during his finest moments.
