Rita Mount was an anglophone Montreal artist known for her Quebec landscape painting, particularly seascapes of the Gaspé coast. This is a remarkably atmospheric work, with its gorgeous green and blue water and the small, informal harbour with sailboats pulled up on the shore. Mount’s soft brush-strokes, pastel tones and sensitive treatment of light is reminiscent of the French Impressionists’ treatment of coastal France, but with a brilliant, clear light that reflects the uniqueness of Canadian atmosphere.
