Step into the world of Paul Cézanne and Mont Sainte-Victoire - where obsession, art, and nature collide in southern France’s most iconic landscape.
This video dives into the passionate relationship between legendary painter Paul Cézanne and the mesmerizing Mont Sainte-Victoire near Aix-en-Provence. Discover how Cézanne’s relentless pursuit to capture the mountain’s minerality and ever-changing light redefined landscape painting and Impressionism. Through evocative storytelling and stunning visuals, we explore why this geological wonder became the artist’s muse, how he saw “nature’s depth” in simple shapes, and how his vision inspired generations of artists and photographers.
You’ll learn about Cézanne’s unique approach to painting, from his theories on spheres, cones, and cylinders to his belief that true art reveals the roots of the world rather than merely copying its surface. We trace the historic Route Cézanne, the only asphalt road classified as a monument in France, revealing the scenery that shaped his masterpieces. The video also reflects on how artists and photographers today continue to chase the elusive spirit of Sainte-Victoire, and how the mountain’s interplay of light, shadow, and stone continues to captivate creative souls.
