Mont Sainte-Victoire and the Viaduct of the Arc River Valley is an oil painting on canvas completed by the French artist Paul Cézanne between 1882 and 1885.
The Mont Sainte-Victoire and the Viaduct of the Arc River Valley was painted from 1882 to 1885, and was completed 21 years before Cézanne's artistic career finished.
[1] Cézanne began working on Impressionism in his artworks in the late 19th century, nearing the end of his career, away from his post-impressionist former paintings.
After Henry died in 1907, the work passed to Louisine; it was donated to the museum following her death in 1929 as part of the Havemeyer collection of 142 artworks.
[1][10] In this painting, Cézanne explores the creation of depth using layers to build up a set of horizontal planes that draw the eye into the view.
