PAUL CÉZANNE b. 1839, Aix-en-Provence, France; d. 1906, Aix-en-Provence, France “Mont Sainte-Victoire” between 1886 and 1887 Oil on canvas Photo is taken by: @robertpuffjr This painting from one of Paul Cézanne's best known series, on Mont Sainte-Victoire, gives us wonderful insight into his view of nature. Observed from a distance, yet in fine detail, this scene allows us to appreciate his wonderful use of color. Spend some time looking at all the greens and browns. As you explore, what other colors do you see? The whole composition exudes a sense of beauty on earth. It feels very rustic and simple, yet so noble. Observing nature through a small village leads us to imagine that simple, fulfilling life in the countryside.
