The mountain of Sainte-Victoire, seen from Bibémus is a painting by the French painter Paul Cézanne. It is made in oil on canvas. It measures 65 cm high and 81 cm wide. It was painted between 1898 and 1900. Currently, it is in Museum of Art, Baltimore, United States.
This work belongs to the landscape genre, one of Cézanne's favorites, along with still life and portraiture. It is also one of his favorite subjects: the mountain of Sainte-Victoire, a limestone massif in the south of France, between the departments of Bouches-du-Rhône and Var. Cézanne, with his paintings, made her famous.
He dedicated numerous paintings to him at two different times: from 1882 to 1890 and from 1901 to his death. This vision from Bibémus is framed in the second epoch. [1]
Cézanne did not intend a static representation of the landscape. I wanted to achieve unity between color, composition, surface and tectonics. In addition, he sought to give a theoretical basis to his experiences and experiments. [2]
