Montagne Sainte-Victoire, 1904 |
- Cézanne often painted Mont Sainte-Victoire, a massive limestone mountain located about ten miles from his home in the south of France.
- The artist suggested distance only by juxtaposing warm and cold colors.
- He further diminished the sense of spatial depth by depicting the image in patches of color of equal size and intensity.
- With all portions of the surface equally handled, there is no sense of the time of day or, for that matter, of time passing.

Montagne Sainte-Victoire is a mountain in southern France, overlooking Aix-en-Provence. It became the subject of a number of Cézanne's paintings, in total numbering about eighty paintings and watercolors.
