File:1904, Cézanne, Mont Sainte-Victoire.jpg
Summary
Cézanne first painted Mont Sainte-Victoire in 1870, beginning his decades-long fascination with the subject that ultimately yielded more than thirty paintings and watercolors of it. The peak played an important role in the ancient history of his native Aix-en-Provence. Its name refers to a Roman victory in 102 b.c. over Teutonic armies in the area. Cézanne created his later views of Sainte-Victoire, including this one, in his hillside studio at Les Lauves, where he was afforded a magnifi cent view of the soaring mountain from across the valley, with its farmland and distinctive olive and almond trees. -gallery label from the Princeton University Art Museum
