Since the 1890s, Cézanne's most important pictorial motif was the mountain Sainte-Victoire to the north of Aix-en-Provence; he captured this landscape more than sixty times in paintings and watercolours; in the Zurich version with the view from Les Lauves, a particularly high degree of abstraction is achieved.
The Collection of Prints and Drawings holds a group of drawings and watercolours by Cézanne.
