Description
The subject of the painting is the Montagne Sainte-Victoire in Provence in southern France. Cézanne spent a lot of time in Aix-en-Provence at the time, and developed a special relationship with the landscape. This painting represented the Mont Sainte-Victoire seen from Montbriand in Aix-en-Provence.
Moreover, Cézanne depicted the railway bridge on the Aix-Marseille line at the Arc River Valley in the center on the right side of this picture.[2]
Posterity
This Cézanne landscape can be seen through the windows of the triptych Une affaire de pommes n°2 (Cézanne)[3] painted by Herman Braun-Vega in 1970[4] to celebrate Cézanne's role as the "creative father" of certain artistic movements.[5]
