About Village in the Laurentian Mountains
Village in the Laurentian Mountains by Clarence Gagnon is a luminous winter landscape capturing the quiet charm of rural Quebec. Painted in Gagnon’s distinctive style, the scene portrays a snow-covered village nestled among rolling hills, with cozy houses, a winding road, and a church steeple rising in the distance. The artist’s masterful use of soft light and warm tones against the cool whites of the snow evokes both the crispness and serenity of a winter day in the Laurentians. Gagnon’s attention to detail and sense of harmony celebrate the beauty of Quebec’s countryside and the simplicity of village life.
