Robert Pilot is lauded for his atmospheric views of Quebec. Pilot solidified his affinity with Impressionism while studying in Paris in 1920, a trip funded by a philanthropic Montreal businessman. A protegé of his stepfather Maurice Cullen, Pilot painted with him, and on his return to Canada settled into Cullen’s old studio on rue Sainte-Famille in Montreal. From this base, Pilot made sketching trips to the Laurentians, the country around Baie-Saint-Paul and Quebec City.

In St-Jovite, Quebec, his normally muted palette of mauve, grey and soft blue is warmed by orange and ochre with notes of red. His use of delicate, misty effects in the background in the church steeple and a distant hill exhibits his expertise with insubstantial light effects, in particular the unique and subtle illumination of a Canadian winter. With its glowing sky, reflections in the water and mood of quietude, St-Jovite, Quebec memorably embodies Pilot’s sensitive and romantic lyricism.
