This view toward Mont Sainte-Victoire was one of Cezanne’s favorites during the mid-1880s. Scholars have recently determined that he painted this canvas from the hill behind his sister’s new house, Montbriand on Valcros hill. Today the Arc River valley is the site of a superhighway linking southern France to Italy.
