Overlooking the Valley of the Gouffre, Charlevoix 1915

"Overlooking the Valley of the Gouffre, Charlevoix," painted by Clarence Gagnon in 1915, is a captivating depiction of a snowy landscape. The painting features a prominent, blue-tinged mountain range, with a valley blanketed in snow extending toward the viewer. The use of vibrant blues and yellows creates a sense of depth and light, while the dark silhouette of trees in the foreground adds a contrasting element. Gagnon's distinct style of brushwork and bold colors, characteristic of the Canadian landscape painting movement, make this work a striking example of his artistic mastery.
