Henri Leopold Masson, a renowned Canadian artist, was born in Namur, Belgium, in 1907. He and his family immigrated to Canada in 1921, settling in Ottawa. As a young man, Masson worked as a silver engraver, quickly rising to the rank of master engraver by the age of 25. During this period, a visit to the National Gallery of Canada introduced him to the captivating works of the Group of Seven, sparking his passion for painting. Though he studied briefly at the Ottawa Art Association, Masson was predominantly self-taught. By 1934, he was already gaining recognition as a significant painter. By 1945, he dedicated most of his time to his art, achieving considerable success with his exhibitions. Masson specialized in painting genre scenes in the Hull area and landscapes in the Gatineau Valley, and he also captured scenes from his travels across Europe and the United States. His work was exhibited at the Robertson Galleries and Wallack Galleries during the 1960s and 70s. Today, a substantial collection of his art resides in the National Gallery of Canada. Henri Leopold Masson passed away in 1996.
