Montagne Saint-Victoire c. 1885

Paul Cézanne's "Montagne Saint-Victoire" (c. 1885) is a watercolor painting depicting the iconic mountain range near Aix-en-Provence, a location that the artist often depicted in his work. The composition features a large pine tree in the foreground that frames the mountain range, a common element in Cézanne's landscapes. The use of light and color, particularly the subtle hues of green and blue, emphasizes the artist's distinctive approach to landscape painting, which was characterized by geometric forms and flat planes of color.
