Montagne Sainte-Victoire, from near Gardanne

Paul Cézanne, kb. 1887

A few pale brown buildings with terracotta red roofs are nestled among hills at the base of a towering, icy-blue mountain in this horizontal landscape painting. Only the pale indigo-violet shadows of the mountain are laid in, leaving the rest as the white of the canvas. The buildings and muted brown hills, blue shadows, and touches of sage green below are loosely painted with visible brushstrokes throughout around more blank areas of canvas.
