During his trips to France and studies in Paris, William Henry Clapp was exposed to Impressionism and Neo-Impressionism – and he would remain devoted to these styles throughout his life. He absorbed the light palette and broken brush-strokes of Claude Monet and the Pointillist techniques used by Neo-Impressionists Georges Seurat and Paul Signac. After returning to Montreal from Europe in 1907, Clapp gained admiration amongst his colleagues and was invited to show his works in key national exhibitions. Between 1907 and 1918, Clapp regularly exhibited his work at the Royal Canadian Academy. He had works included in the Art Association of Montreal's annual spring shows from 1908 to 1914 and the Canadian Art Club exhibitions from 1912 to 1915. Berthier, PQ deftly captures Clapp’s impression of this peaceful, rural scene with a glowing light-filled palette and softly brushed strokes and dabs of paint. This fine painting was included in Joan Murray's groundbreaking 1974 exhibition Impressionism in Canada at the Art Gallery of Ontario, and was mentioned as an example of Clapp’s “virtuoso handling” of Impressionist technique.
