The First European Settlers on the Saint Lawrence River Banks, Present-Day Quebec 16th-17th Century
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This watercolor print by Gaston Henry Darien takes us back to the early days of European colonization in North America. The scene depicts the first European settlers who arrived on the banks of the Saint Lawrence River in present-day Quebec during the 16th and 17th centuries. The artist beautifully captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing these brave pioneers as they establish their presence in this new land. Clad in period attire, we see men and women engaged in various activities that reflect their daily lives - some tending to crops, others constructing modest dwellings, while children play nearby. Darien's use of color adds depth and vibrancy to this historical tableau. The lush greenery surrounding them hints at both the challenges and opportunities that awaited these settlers as they adapted to their new environment. Through this artwork, we are transported back to a pivotal era when Europeans began shaping what would become modern-day Canada. It serves as a reminder of our collective history and highlights the resilience and determination of those who ventured into unknown territories seeking better lives. This print from "Notre epopee coloniale" by Pierre Legendre is part of a private collection, offering us a glimpse into an important chapter of human migration and exploration.
