This delightful work is typical of Gagnon’s landscapes painted in the Laurentian Mountains around Baie-Saint-Paul. Gagnon was a master at playing with colour and atmosphere, often exploring landscapes through the play of light and shadow across them. Here, the rolling hills are dramatically lit with searing light from the setting sunlight hitting the far ridge, highlighting the hillside in a burnish of bright orange, while the lowering sky casts cool shadows up the wooded slopes in lush purples and deep blue-greens. The far trees, reduced to a blur of strokes, seem to be further illuminated, their changing leaves recalling the dying warmth of the sun and producing a dim interior glow amid the deepening evening shadow. The dark blues of the foreground foliage forebodes the evening chill, while the village in the valley below is rendered in minimal impressions. The softened detail gives a sense of quiet calm: we feel as if we have watched the sunset burn away, and can begin to feel the bite of the night approach.
