View Of Hamilton is an 1853 oil painting by Robert R. Whale, showing a view of the town on Lake Ontario (today a city) from the vantage point of the Niagara Escarpment.
Kakabeka Falls, Kamanistiquia River dates to 1882, by the artist Lucius R. O'Brien. These waterfalls can be found west of Thunder Bay, in Ontario's north.
Winter Landscape, Laval is another Cornelius Krieghoff work. This painting dates to 1862 and features his interest in French-Canadian rural life.
Sunrise On The Saguenay, Cape Trinity is another Lucius O'Brien, an oil painting dating to 1880, showing a part of the landscape in Quebec.
Emanuel Hahn sculpted this bronze, Indian Scout, in 1913. His model was Thunder Cloud, a scout for the American military during the Indian Wars. Hahn also sculpted the bust of the same man in the second shot, named for the man himself, at the same time.
William Raphael painted this oil painting in 1879. Indian Encampment On The Lower St. Lawrence is a dramatic nightscape showing the Montagnais First Nation encamped in the evening.
The other main interior courtyard in the Gallery features a reflecting pool, visible here, as well as from below, and from the upper level.
I like painting exhibitions.
ReplyDeleteSo many absolutely gorgeous paintings and sculptures! My favorite i the view of Hamilton. We used to have a blogger from Hamilton but he dropped out a couple of years ago. As I look at the bust (3rd from bottom) I'm again reminded how we are all one race...there is not such thing as a white race or black race or red race or yellow race, there's only the human race. Unfortunately, in this country, so many of our leaders don't understand that at all.
ReplyDeleteDelightful art! I like the reflecting pool too.
ReplyDeleteVery fine paintings indeed.
ReplyDeleteI like that sculpture!
