Four Landscapes by Lily Bell Rhodes (1889-1975)
Canadian
Lily Bell Rhodes was the
grand-daughter of Canadian author, historian and past President
of The Royal Society of Canada, Sir James McPherson
Le Moine (1825-1912). Lily Bell Rhodes studied art
at Les Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Quebec City
under Henry Ivan Neilson (Professor of
Painting, Drawing and Anatomy), as well as with instructor and
noted Canadian artist Jean Paul Lemieux. The Le
Moine family home known as ‘Spencer Grange’
was built in 1848 in Sainte-Foy Quebec and became the official
residence of the Lieutenant Governor of Quebec,
now a Canadian Heritage property and museum.
Three of the four panels shown below are of sites Miss Rhodes
visited while traveling overseas throughout the British
countryside, the fourth is of the Charlevoix region in rural
Quebec, most likely Sainte-Foy. Although Miss Rhodes painted for
her own enjoyment and is not a listed artist, her competency of
composition, perspective and palette as demonstrated in these
pictorial vignettes underscores an undeniable and elevated
degree of ability. In addition these charming works are an
interesting and historically important link to Canada’s and in
particular Quebec’s history. Provenance: obtained by
the previous owner directly from a member of the Rhode’s family
in the early 1980’s.
Important Note: At the
time of this posting several of Ms. Rhodes works are currently
on display at the Bagatelle Museum in Sainte-Foy Quebec, in
conjunction with an exhibition on the life and works of her
grandfather, Sir James McPherson Le Moine
