A Masterpiece of Post-Impressionism
Paul Cézanne's Mont Sainte-Victoire is a true masterpiece of Post-Impressionism. This painting, which is part of the series of oil paintings by Cézanne featuring the same subject, showcases his unique style and technique. The mountain of Mont Sainte-Victoire, located in France, was a frequent subject in Cézanne's work as he could see it from his house.
A Symbol of Nature and Geometry
Cézanne uses geometry to describe the nature in this painting, and different colors to represent the depth of objects. The contrast between the dark wilderness on the left side and the light-filled and peaceful cultivated landscape on the right side is striking. This contrast represents the dichotomy of the untamed wilderness and the tranquility of civilization.
