About the Artwork (from DIA.org)

Cézanne often painted Mont Sainte­-Victoire, a massive limestone mountain located about ten miles from his home in the south of France. The artist suggested distance only by juxtaposing warm and cold colors. He further diminished the sense of spatial depth by depicting the image in patches of color of equal size and intensity. With all portions of the surface equally handled, there is no sense of the time of day or, for that matter, of time passing.
