The town of Murray Bay, in Charlevoix County, Quebec, has attracted the attention of artists and been a popular tourist destination from as early as the late 1700s. Situated on the north shore of the St. Lawrence River, where the Malbaie River feeds into the St. Lawrence, it was renamed La Malbaie in 1957. In addition to Robert Pilot, who here has painted Murray Bay against a backdrop of low-lying clouds that have settled along the river, Nora Collyer, Arnold Benjamin Hopkins and Henri Masson all painted scenes depicting this quaint village and its inhabitants. Pilot has depicted the town’s homes and buildings nestled along the gently rolling shoreline landscape in a contained, appealing manner. The church and millworks are the tallest of the buildings depicted, with a plume of smoke from the paper mill evaporating as it moves skyward. Grey clouds fill the sky, patterning the atmosphere and balancing the geometry of the village below.
