Caption

1. Medium: Watercolor on paper

2. Shapes and objects: A mountainous landscape with rolling green hills. Two small buildings (possibly houses) nestled in the hills. A cypress tree or similar tall, slender tree near the buildings. The hills have a curved, almost wave-like quality to them. The sky is painted with loose, expressive brushstrokes.

3. Colours: Predominantly greens of various shades for the hills and vegetation. Yellows and light oranges for the buildings. Blues, greys, and yellows in the sky, creating a sense of atmosphere. Touches of purple and blue in the shadowed areas of the hills.

4. Narrative: This painting captures the essence of a lush, hilly landscape, possibly in a Mediterranean or similar warm climate. The small buildings nestled in the hills suggest human presence in harmony with nature. The undulating, almost fluid quality of the hills gives the landscape a dreamlike, surreal feel. The painting evokes a sense of serenity and isolation, as if these houses are a peaceful retreat from the world.

5. Original Artist: While this is an original work by Mehrdad Fahimi, the style and subject matter are strongly reminiscent of the landscapes painted by Paul Cézanne, particularly his later works depicting Mont Sainte-Victoire. Cézanne was a Post-Impressionist French artist known for his distinctive brushwork and his approach to simplifying forms in nature to their geometric essentials.

A comparable work might be Cézanne's "Mont Sainte-Victoire" series, though Fahimi's painting has its own unique elements and a more fluid, expressive style. Cézanne's works can be found in major museums worldwide, including the Musée d'Orsay in Paris and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

While Fahimi's painting is clearly his own, it seems to draw inspiration from Cézanne's approach to landscape, particularly in the treatment of the hills and the use of color to create depth and form.
