Paul Cezannes – ‘Mont Sainte Victorie’
This oil painting caught my eye because it has a magical feel to it. It looks like an illustration I would see in a story book. I find it interesting how it’s not super detailed but you can see the features of the land. I feel as though the way Cezanne has painted this is the way I would approach painting a landscape like this. There’s a very minimalistic colour range but you can sense the foreground, background and middle ground. The tree frames the painting and brings it all together. When I look at the tree I can almost see it moving like its being swept by wind.
