The Arc Images association has unveiled a stunning photography exhibition dedicated to Mount Sainte-Victoire, the iconic mountain that captured the heart of renowned painter Paul Cezanne. The exhibition, titled "Esthétique de la Sainte-Victoire" (Aesthetics of Sainte-Victoire), opened at the Château des Remparts in Trets with more than sixty attendees gathering for the opening reception.
The exhibition serves as a beautiful photographic tribute to Cezanne's beloved mountain, perfectly timed to coincide with the year-long celebration honoring the Aix-en-Provence native painter. The show presents the collective work of Arc Images association members, each offering their unique perspective on the emblematic peak that has inspired artists for generations.
Under the vaulted ceilings of the exhibition hall, the photographs showcase an impressive diversity of artistic viewpoints. Visitors can experience the mountain through various interpretations including morning light captures, shadow play compositions, and seasonal contrasts. These varied approaches highlight the eternal attachment that artists feel toward this timeless landscape situated between Trets and Aix-en-Provence.
The opening event brought together a diverse crowd of photographers, art enthusiasts, and heritage preservation advocates, all coming together to celebrate the exceptional quality of Arc Images' collective work. The gathering provided a warm, convivial atmosphere where attendees could share their appreciation for both the artistic achievement and the cultural significance of the mountain that continues to inspire creativity.
For those interested in exploring this photographic universe, the exhibition remains open to the public through November 7, 2025, at the Château des Remparts. The show offers visitors an invitation to rediscover Mount Sainte-Victoire as an inexhaustible source of inspiration, viewed through the sensitive lens of Trets' local photographers who continue to find new ways to capture the mountain's enduring beauty and significance.
