Mont Sainte-Victoire 1906

Paul Cézanne's "Mont Sainte-Victoire" (1906) is a celebrated example of Post-Impressionism, showcasing the artist's signature approach to landscape painting. This oil on canvas depicts the iconic mountain near Aix-en-Provence, France, with a simplified, almost geometric rendering of its form. Cézanne's distinct brushstrokes and use of color create a sense of depth and vibrancy, capturing the essence of the mountain and its surrounding landscape. The work, currently located at the Kunsthaus Zürich, exemplifies Cézanne's enduring fascination with the mountain, which he painted repeatedly throughout his career. This specific painting, completed shortly before his death, is a testament to Cézanne's artistic evolution and his profound connection to the natural world.
