1980s

About the Item

French Impressionist landscape on canvas of the iconic Mont Sainte Victoire and lavender fields of Provence by Tramutola. The painting is signed bottom right. Presented in a gilt and painted wood frame. A charming view of a French farmhouse or bastide surrounded by a lavender field, olive groves, Cyprus trees and in the background Le Mont Sainte Victoire beloved as a subject by Paul Cezanne. The artist has captured the colours and textures of summer in the South of France with a view beloved of artists. Montagne Sainte-Victoire is a mountain in southern France, overlooking Aix-en-Provence. It became the subject of a number of Cézanne's paintings, in total numbering about thirty paintings and watercolours. Mont Sainte-Victoire became one of Cézanne's most repeated and varied themes, with Cézanne changing something about the scene each time, from his angle to the lighting to the compositional specifics to the mood he tried to evoke. Cézanne used three primary vantage points for these paintings: near his brother's property in Bellevue, near Bibemus quarry, and in Les Lauves. His scenes generally included Mont Sainte-Victoire itself, a grey-white limestone mountain, and the surrounding valley and plains that the mountain rose from. Cézanne's Mont Sainte-Victoire paintings fell into two main periods: those he executed during his so-called "period of synthesis," from roughly the 1870s to 1895, and those he created during his late period, from around 1895 until his death in 1906. Through both periods, Cézanne painted in watercolour as well as oil paints to capture Mont Sainte-Victoire with more transparency and lightness. Only half a year after the opening of the Aix-Marseille train line on October 15, 1877, in a letter to Émile Zola dated April 14, 1878, Cézanne praised Mont Sainte-Victoire, which he viewed from the train while passing through the railway bridge at Arc River Valley, as a "beau motif (beautiful motif)." Around this time, he began a series in which he featured the mountain. These paintings belong to Post-Impressionism. Cézanne used geometry to describe nature and different colours to represent the depth of objects. Cézanne generally tried to convey the eternal, interior structure of the scene before him, more than the ephemeral surface features. While the Impressionists tried to depict nature directly as they saw it, Cézanne generally tried to convey a sense of what was beneath what the naked eye could see, though he still had a sharp eye for subtle changes in light and atmosphere. Cézanne tried to evoke emotions through his works and "find order in his sensations." The whole series embodies Cézanne's struggle to mould nature into art through geometric forms and effects of colour.
