Lonely Planet review for Musée Marc-Aurèle Fortin

This museum has but a few viewing rooms dedicated to a sole Québec painter, Marc-Aurèle Fortin (1888-1970), whose depictions of lush trees and greenery transformed the art of landscapes. A self-taught genius, Fortin produced thousands of works. He painted until his death, even after he lost his legs, and later his eyesight to diabetes. Fortin's bold, colourful paintings are a sharp contrast to his tragic end.
