EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Sugaring Off, c. 1865" by Eastman Johnson showcases a cherished Canadian tradition steeped in history and community spirit. The oil on canvas masterpiece measures 85.1x135.9 cm and is housed at the Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens in San Marino, CA. In this scene, we are transported to a serene forest setting where guests have gathered to partake in the age-old practice of making maple sugar or syrup from boiling down maple sap. A cauldron sits atop an open fire as wisps of steam rise into the crisp spring air, creating an enchanting atmosphere. The painting beautifully captures the essence of camaraderie as Canadians come together to celebrate their cultural heritage amidst nature's beauty. Snow blankets the ground while towering maple trees provide shelter for a rustic hut that serves as the heart of this communal gathering. As we delve deeper into this artwork, we can almost taste the sweetness that permeates through every brushstroke – a testament to both artistic skill and culinary craftsmanship. This image not only pays homage to Canada's rich traditions but also highlights its connection with North America and the Western Hemisphere. Bridgeman Images has masterfully preserved this piece for generations to appreciate, reminding us of our shared human experiences across time and continents. Let "Sugaring Off" transport you back in time and immerse yourself in this timeless Canadian ritual captured on canvas over a century ago.
