Maurice Cullen (June 6, 1866 – March 28, 1934) is considered to be the father of Canadian Impressionism because he was the first artist to skillfully adapt French Impressionism to Canadian conditions. He is best known for his paintings of snow and his depictions of ice harvest scenes, featuring horse-drawn sleighs traveling across the frozen waters of Quebec during winter. The Laurentians were his greatest love and he painted there often. He excelled in painting crisp northern light.
