Mont Sainte-Victoire by Cézanne |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| French artist Paul Cézanne painted Mont Sainte-Victoire, a mountain near his home in Provence in southern France, on many occasions. Over time, the images he produced became flatter, less realistic, and more abstract. In this late version, painted from 1902 to 1904, patches of color barely indicate the mountain, sky, and foreground, while creating a rhythmic pattern across the painting’s surface. The mountain and sky, both intensely blue, appear almost to merge. | ||||||
