Afternoon Sun, Baie-Saint-Paul 1924

"Afternoon Sun, Baie-Saint-Paul" is a 1924 painting by Canadian artist Clarence Gagnon. This work showcases Gagnon’s signature style of capturing the beauty of the Canadian landscape. A winter scene with snow-covered buildings and trees, the painting uses bold strokes of color and light to convey a sense of tranquility and serenity. The use of cool blue tones and contrasting warm yellows and reds creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, highlighting the beauty of the winter landscape. The prominent figure in the foreground suggests the human experience within the vastness of nature. Gagnon's work often portrayed the landscapes of Quebec, particularly the village of Baie-Saint-Paul, which is considered to be one of his favorite subjects.
