Mont Sainte-Victoire Cezanne

Mont Sainte-Victorie is a mountain in France that Cezanne could see from his house. It became the subject of a number of his paintings. These paintings belong to Post-Impressionism. Post-Impressionists extended Impressionism while rejecting its limitations: they continued using vivid colours, thick application of paint, distinctive brush strokes, and real-life subject matter, but they were more inclined to emphasize geometric forms, to distort form for expressive effect, and to use unnatural or arbitrary colour.
