Impressionism is an artistic movement of the 19th century. During the late 19th century, Impressionism was transformed into Post-Impressionism by the French artist Paul Cézanne. He is known as one of the contributors to the transition to the Post-Impressionist movement. The post-impressionist era caused some criteria to be violated, but retained the techniques of the impressionist era. Paul Cézanne developed many techniques that became significant within the movement and ultimately earned him success as an artist. He introduced a diverse technique in his early works and emphasized symbols representing the landscape. Numerous interpretations of the "Mont Sainte-Victorie" landscape have been created and have contributed significantly to its success. The interpretations of Mont Sainte-Victorie are the stepping stone in evolutionary change during the Post-Impressionist movement. Paul Cézanne's post-impressionist artwork was so influential that it was able to give birth to new artistic explorations such as cubism. During the Post-Impressionist movement, artworks were restored to resemble the arts after Impressionism. Impressionism is an artistic movement of the 19th century and originated from a group of French artists. Impressionism had specific criteria in how works of art were made: relatively small and thin visible brushstrokes, orderly structure, light in its changing qualities depending on the time of day and place, and visual angles. The Impressionists illustrated their works with freely brushed colors that focused on the importance of having symmetrical lines and contours; rather than painting still lifes, portraits and landscapes indoors, they preferred to paint outdoors to give the artwork a realistic image of the time and place and to capture... the center of the paper... the characteristics of the landscape illustrating a natural image, but nature itself gives the aesthetics of the landscape.
