Cézanne Painted Mont Sainte-Victoire Dozens of Times. Here Are 3 Things You May Not Know About His Obsession With the Mountain Japanese prints helped inspire the artist s famous series. Montagne Sainte-Victoire(1904–06). Collection of the Musée D Orsay. Paul Cézanne’s muse was not a person but a mountain. Montagne Sainte-Victoire, a mountain overlooking Aix-en-Provence in southern France, fascinated the visionary artist for decades, resulting in over 30 oil paintings and watercolors made over the course of his life. The mountain, whose name means “Mountain of Holy Victory,” was by no means astoundingly large: it measures a modest 3,317 feet. But it is steeped in local and personal lore. For Cézanne, who lived most of his life in Aix, and who established a studio with a view of the mountain in nearby Les Lauves in 1902, it was a nostalgic reminder of nature’s beauty and endurance.
