The first art examples of thousands of years ago in Canada are seen in the Aborigines. These works are used for commercial purposes as well. In 1759 during the French colony period, examples of Early European art were brought to Canada. These examples presented today in the collection of Laval University include the works of masters such as Signorelli, Poussin, Reynolds, Vandyck, Rubens and Velasquez. Although efforts were made to support the painting art during this period, painting art in Canada has not shown a clear character until the 19th century. By 1867 a military painter generation was born in Canada, a British colony, who took topographic drawing lessons at the British Military Academy. Most of these peasant artists include artists such as Thomas Davies, George Hariot and James Pattisonn Cockburn. During this period, Cornelius Krieghoff, who painted the views of life in Quebec, and Western Canada, who painted the indigenous life in Paul Kane, attract the attention of early Canadian painters in the influence of Europe. In the early 20th century, a group of Toronto landscape artists changed the course of the Canadian painting. These artists, Franklin Carmichael, Lawren Haris, A. Y. Jackson, Frank Johnston, Arthur Lismer, J. E. H. MacDonald and Frederick Varley. The group's dark and colorful Post-Empressionist statues in the landscape paintings have influenced Canadian art for many years. In this study, the history of Canadian painting art was studied by the artists' painting samples in the process that passed until the beginning of the 20th century.
