Maurice Cullen, an important Canadian Impressionist, had absorbed the tenets of this movement while studying in Paris. Painting out-of-doors and capturing the moment in the landscape with its ephemeral effects of light were a vital part of his work. Mountains such as the Palisades, often seen from Lac Tremblant or the Cache River, are a recurring element of Cullen’s Laurentian compositions, captured here with mysterious, deep-shadowed cobalt hues.
