John Hammond. A great admirer of the painters of the French Barbizon and Dutch Hague schools, Canadian painter John Hammond was best known for his landscapes and marines (or paysages de mer - landscapes of the sea) depicting the Bay of Fundy. Hammond was born in Montreal. Online you may see many many pages of information. The painting is titled on back. painted on board with a period frame that I estimate done in the 1915 period, I bought this as an investment to resell, you can see online I paid 2.300 years ago out of Halifax. Due to downsizing, I must sell some of my lovely art. over the next week, I will put more unusually good things for sale. Would look in any home setting, the image appears darker online than reality. Purples and orange, a group of seven early styles.
