Mont Sainte-Victoire 1890

Paul Cézanne's "Mont Sainte-Victoire" (1890) is a quintessential example of his Post-Impressionist style, known for its bold brushstrokes and geometric forms. The painting captures the majestic mountain range near Aix-en-Provence, a recurring subject in Cézanne's oeuvre. The simplified shapes of the houses and the mountain, along with the vibrant colors, emphasize Cézanne's interest in the structure and geometry of his subjects. The painting's distinct style, along with its focus on the artist's home region, made Cézanne a major influence on 20th century art.
