Scenes Of A Land

 We begin today with this painting by Theophile Hamel. Henriette Massue Le Moine dates to 1854. I always spend some time with her. 

This portrait by Hamel dates to 1848: Etienne Parent.

Cornelius Krieghoff was a well traveled artist whose primary subject became life in the Canadian landscapes. This big painting is one that my readers consistently like to see- White Horse Inn By Moonlight, an 1851 painting.

Here we have another Krieghoff. The Chaudiere is an 1858 painting of the waterfalls on the Ottawa River, upstream from here. I think a return visit in August is long overdue.

Two more Krieghoff paintings. At top, The Passing Storm, Saint-Ferreol, from 1854. At bottom is The Saint Anne Falls, from 1855.

At top here is Marine, by Robert C. Todd, done in 1855. Below it is Yacht Race At Halifax, by John O'Brien, dated to 1850.

And closing things out today, these vibrant bags of indigenous origin. At left, an artist of the Dene people. At right, one by an unknown artist, either Metis or western Cree.
