Early in 1895, Maurice Cullen was living in Paris, where his exposure to French Impressionism had heightened his sensitivity to light and colour. He was so well regarded in France that he was elected an associate of the Société nationale des beaux-arts. However, Cullen longed to return to Canada, and later that year he arrived in Montreal. He showed his work in a rented store on St. Catherine Street, and in January of 1896 a critic for the Montreal Gazette noted: "Three of his paintings which hung in last year's Paris Salon and two of the former year's salon, are exhibited. They are, indeed, exquisite bits of work." This studio canvas is a consummate example of Cullen's Impressionist sensitivities to light and colour. Although he did not use the fractured brush-stroke of this movement, preferring a more solid paint application, Evening, Quebec is an Impressionist feast of pastel tones, from pink to pale ice blue. Through his teaching, with his emphasis on plein air painting, and through the example of his impressive body of work, Cullen was an important early influence on painters in Canada.
