Max Jacquiard - Mount Stephen from Partridge

The view is of the upper spiral tunnel on Field Hill on a September morning
about 1950. Train #2, final destination Montreal, is about to cross over
the tunnel it had entered a few minutes earlier on its way to the summit
of the Divide. The section house was the dwelling of the tunnel watchman
who patrolled the tunnel daily, checking for possible problems. This section
of the hill was named for the engineman Seth Partridge, who ran down to
the Yoho section house to warn its occupants of a landslide which struck
the building moments after their exit.

Max Jacquiard has a sizeable research library of printed materials, photos and
slides of steam trains and the places they would have operated. It is that attention
to precise and accurate details that can be seen in his paintings. The sensitivity
to his subject and quiet passion that is infused into each work seem to allow
Max Jaquiard to breath life into the canvases. The images he creates have
captured the imaginations of steam buffs across Canada and the United
States. His paintings grace the walls in homes across North America.
