St. Malo, France, is an exceptionally fine painting by James Wilson Morrice, and his largest known painting in a private collection.  It is the third largest known canvas by the artist.  Morrice is one of Canada's greatest and most important artists.  His paintings were collected both internationally and in Canada during his lifetime, and they remain among the most sought after in our field.  The opportunity to purchase an important canvas is extremely rare.  St. Malo was one of Morrice's favourite painting places.  A smaller (but still large) version of St. Malo, France has been in the collection of the Musee de Picardie in Amiens, France since 1926.  Neither painting had ever previously been to Canada.
