Impressionism

Canadian Impressionism, a significant art movement emerging in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, saw artists like Maurice Cullen and Helen McNicoll adapt French Impressionist techniques – focusing on light, color, and visible brushstrokes – to uniquely capture the distinct qualities of Canadian landscapes, urban scenes, and rural life, particularly the interplay of light on snow and water; this movement laid important groundwork for later artistic developments in Canada, including, indirectly, some elements that influenced the Group of Seven.

If you have a historical artwork to sell, or are interested in acquiring exceptional works by Canadian artists, we’d love to hear from you.
