Max Jacquiard - Winter Afternoon Castle Mountain

Train #8, the Montreal Section of the "Dominion", rolls through the snow-coated
landscape of the Bow Valley on its eastward journey. Castle Mountain, aptly
named by James Hector in 1858, was renamed Mt. Eisenhower by Prime Minister
MacKenzie King. The new name was never popular, and was officially changed
back in 1979. Leading the train is the original member of the 5900 series “Selkirk”
types. These were Canada’s largest steam locomotives and were built for
mainline service in the western mountains.

Max Jaquiard 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.
