Mont Sainte-Victoire with Large Pine
Paul Cézanne · 1887
Why it's great
A tall pine tree frames a view of the distant mountain, with fields and a viaduct below, in bands of green and blue. Cézanne painted Mont Sainte-Victoire again and again, near his home in Provence. The branches make a pattern. It's one of his best-known landscapes.

Paul Cézanne was born in Aix-en-Provence in southern France and lived there for much of his life, painting its hills, orchards, and the mountain Sainte-Victoire. He studied with the Impressionists in Paris, but then went his own way, building forms from blocks of color. He is often called the father of modern art, and both Picasso and Matisse praised him. He died in 1906 after catching a chill while painting outside.
