Abstract
Horatio Walker was born in Listowel, Ontario, in 1858 and died in Sainte-Pétronille, on Île d'Orléans, in 1938. He began his artistic training with the photographers Notman and Fraser in Toronto between 1873 and 1876. He worked as a photographer in Rochester, New York, for a number of years. Towards the mid-1880s, he spent his winters in New York and his summers on Île d'Orléans. His highly idealized depictions of rural life in Quebec, showing hard-working peasants against a brilliant sky, are reminiscent of the French painters of the Barbizon School. The author's book was the catalog of an exhibition held at the Musée du Québec, the McMichael Canadian Collection and the New Brunswick Museum in 1986-1987.
