On this canvas C\u00e9zanne does not set the mountain in the distance but lets it take up almost the whole upper half of the scene. Below it the valley spreads out in planes of orange, green and blue, with a road winding through. Our hand-painted reproduction on canvas brings this commanding view into your home, painted in oil on canvas.<\/p>\n
In the late versions of Mont Sainte-Victoire, C\u00e9zanne does not describe the slopes but assembles them from slanting planes that overlap like roof tiles. The sky is blue in several different blues, not one. It is this method \u2013 space built from relationships of colour instead of from perspective \u2013 that has C\u00e9zanne called the father of modern painting.<\/p>\n
C\u00e9zanne painted the mountain east of Aix-en-Provence in more than sixty oils and watercolours. He was not after the view but the task: how a flat canvas is to show mass and distance. Every version is an attempt, not a repetition.<\/p>\n
Trees and scrub in strong greens stand in the foreground, the middle is taken by the valley with scattered houses, and above rises the pale grey and violet mass of the mountain. The original is painted in oil on canvas and by the collection\u2019s record measures 99 \u00d7 78 cm; it is dated to the beginning of the 20th century.<\/p>\n
This view of Mont Sainte-Victoire belongs to the group of C\u00e9zanne\u2019s works that passed into state ownership after the Russian Revolution. In 1948 the museum in which they had been gathered was declared ideologically unsuitable and abolished. Rather than let the works disappear, curators divided them between the Hermitage and the Pushkin Museum \u2013 by some accounts precisely in order to preserve them. Because of that decision, C\u00e9zanne\u2019s canvases from the former Moscow collections are today publicly accessible in the two largest Russian museums.<\/p>\n
This subject needs a surface on which the stroke stays visible \u2013 which is why we paint it by hand in oil on canvas and never as a print. It comes in ten sizes and to your measurements when you have one particular wall in mind. Because of the strong colour contrasts, leave it some empty space around it. Look at the frame in the 3D preview before you order.
