Notes on paintings of the city
Property developer Jonathan Wener has spent years tracking down paintings by his ancestor William Raphael, who did genre paintings around Quebec in the 19th century. Works depicting Bonsecours market and Victoria Square are shown in this piece, although it would be nice if they were zoomable because there’s a lot of detail.
Speaking of painters of Montreal scenes, there’s an exhibit of John Little’s work at Chateau Ramezay till the end of the month.

Thank you!
The Bonsecours picture is the better painting of the two. Rather Bruegel-ish.
