Mont Sainte-Victoire \u2013 a pale violet mass against a drawn sky<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/colgroup>\n<\/table>\n

Mont Sainte-Victoire is an oil painting by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, made around 1888\u20131889. The original measures 53.0 x 64.1 cm, is catalogued as 1980.12.14 and hangs in the Yale University Art Gallery, New Haven. Our art reproduction Mont Sainte-Victoire is painted by hand in oil on canvas, in eight sizes from 70 x 60 to 150 x 120 cm.<\/p>\n

It is the same mountain Paul C\u00e9zanne painted. Renoir and C\u00e9zanne were working near Aix in these years, which is why the motif appears in both. The difference is in the handling: C\u00e9zanne builds the mountain from planes and blocks, Renoir from soft, small strokes, so that its mass almost dissolves into the air around it.<\/p>\n

The sky in long slanting strokes<\/h3>\n

The pale violet-grey mass of the mountain stands left of centre against a sky brushed in long diagonal strokes of blue and white. Below it the land falls away in low ridges of rose, blue and ochre, with a scatter of small buildings in the middle distance and one red roof catching the light. The foreground is a stand of olive and pine \u2013 blue-green, silver and dark green \u2013 over a field of dry ochre grass laid in with long horizontal strokes.<\/p>\n

Why hand-painted, not a print<\/h3>\n

Our version is not a print. Sky and grass are painted in long strokes all running one way, each of which stays separately visible, while the foliage is built from short crossing touches. A hand-painted painting keeps that difference in the way the paint sits, which printed paper cannot imitate.<\/p>\n

In the room<\/h3>\n

The subject is quiet, blue and ochre and copes well even on a wall with less light, so it works in a living room, a bedroom or an office. 80 x 65 cm is enough on a smaller wall, 120 x 100 cm on a larger one; on a broad wall it carries 150 x 120 cm, with 130 x 110 cm in between. Under 70 x 60 cm the slanting strokes in the sky flatten out and the mountain loses the ground it stands against.<\/p>\n

What you receive<\/h3>\n

We paint the canvas to order, by hand and for you alone, so every copy is made on its own; the canvas is usually painted and dried within three to four weeks. If you prefer, we will paint it in a size that is not on the list. Before despatch we send you a photograph of the finished canvas for your approval, and only then does the painting go out. Mont Sainte-Victoire arrives stretched on a wooden frame and ready to hang, wrapped in protective film and in rigid packaging, with no further stretching or finishing needed.<\/p>\n
