[continued]

‘...[Monet] and Cézanne came to concentrate on single images in long sequences of canvases, which gave some of their subjects an almost metaphysical force, such as Cézanne's views of Mont Sainte-Victoire (for example, the one in Philadelphia Museum of Art), and Monet’s of Rouen Cathedral (five in Musée du Jeu de Paume, Paris). Though Pissarro & Sisley also came to paint such series of related canvases, they remained more specific in their recording of the varied play of light and weather, while Monet used his series as the basis for elaborate and integrated color harmonies, and Cézanne his for exploring the play of colored planes on the picture-surface.’
