Overview

A romantic view of 19th-century Canada -- a domestic complement to the work of Bartlett, Constable, and Kane.Anthony Flower (1792-1875) lived and worked in New Brunswick for most of his life. A farmer with a lifelong passion for art, he painted until his death at the age of eighty-three. His work opens a window on a time and place now gone. His paintings depict the life that he saw around him in rural New Brunswick and the events and scenes described in newspapers of the day. Anthony Flower's art was among the first in New Brunswick to depict rural New Brunswick. Through his paintings, we learn about day-to-day life, religion, how people dressed, what their interests were, and what was important to them, all important pieces to our understanding of everyday life in nineteenth-century Canada.Une vue romantique du Canada du XIXe siècle. Un complément domestique au travail de Bartlett, Constable et Kane.Anthony Flower (1792-1875) a vécu et travaillé au Nouveau-Brunswick pendant la majeure partie de sa vie. Agriculteur passionné par l'art, il peint jusqu'á sa mort á l'âge de quatre-vingt-trois ans. Son travail ouvre une fenêtre sur un temps et un lieu disparu. Ses peintures dépeignent la vie qu'il a vue autour de lui dans les régions rurales du Nouveau-Brunswick et les événements et scènes décrits dans les journaux de l'époque. L'art d'Anthony Flower a été parmi les premiers á représenter le Nouveau-Brunswick rural. À travers ses peintures, nous apprenons la vie quotidienne, la religion, la façon dont les gens s'habillent, quels sont leurs intérêts et ce qui est important pour eux, autant d'éléments importants pour notre compréhension de la vie quotidienne au Canada au XIXe siècle.
