Cezanne

Our recent trip to London took us to the Courtaulds collection at Somerset House where we were pleased to see one of Paul Cezanne's many painings of Mont Sainte Victoire just outside Aix-en-Provence. Our reason for this unexpected pleasure was that we had recently bought a print from a work by Rolf Harris, Mont Sainte Victoire (Homage to Cezanne) and we were interested to see the real thing. Our excuse for buying the print was that it was more affordable than the original, and seems to look pretty good to us.
The official site for Paul Cezanne (1839 - 1906) shows several more similar paintings done by Cezanne, but not the one we saw in London.
