Le Pont de glace à Québec
Clarence Gagnon · 1920
Why it's great
People cross the frozen St. Lawrence River at Quebec on an ice bridge in winter. Clarence Gagnon loved to paint Quebec's snow, villages and winter life. In cold winters the river froze solid, and people could walk across. It's a cheerful picture of Canadian winter.
