Context: During his later years Cézanne repeatedly painted the towering mountain of Sainte-Victoire, which rises just east of his home in Aix-en-Provence, France. In this series of paintings, one of the most revolutionary in the history of art, Cézanne increasingly compressed space into an integrated structure of intersecting planes. Here, the rising slope of the mountain echoes the silhouette of the branch that extends out from the upper left, thereby relating foreground to background. The dark tree on the right is flattened, but at the same time space is suggested by patterns of alternating warm and cool colors.
