Mont Sainte-Victoire

The full title of this painting is Mont Sainte-Victoire From the Southwest with Trees and a House. It is one of many paintings of this mountain made by 19th-Century French artist Paul Cézanne. Like the impressionist painters, Cézanne painted landscapes from nature, working in the open air. The use of flattened space and planes of color to define form are characteristics of Cézanne's style.
