Mont Sainte-Victoire is a 1902 oil by Paul Cezanne, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Philadelphia Museum of Art.
The painting depicts a mountain landscape, with a prominent mountain in the background and a village or town in the foreground. The mountain is rendered in shades of blue and green, while the village is depicted in earth tones such as brown and yellow. In the foreground, the brushstrokes are loose and expressive, giving the painting a sense of energy and movement. The artist's use of color and composition creates a sense of depth and distance, drawing the viewer's eye into the scene.

Paul Cézanne was born on January 19, 1839, in Aix-en-Provence, the son of a hatter turned wealthy banker.
