Farmstead, Baie-Saint-Paul 1924

"Farmstead, Baie-Saint-Paul" (1924) by Canadian artist Clarence Gagnon (1881-1942) depicts a rural scene with several houses nestled amongst lush green hills and a hazy, blue sky. The artist is known for his romantic style and depictions of Canadian landscapes, particularly those of Quebec. The bright, almost luminous brushstrokes, along with the use of warm and cool colors, create a sense of tranquility and peace, characteristic of the Impressionist movement.
