From John Singer Sargent to Charles Demuth, war artists showing the horrors of the Great War to the wild waters and hills of central Canada.

Paintings of trees in their magnificent autumn colours by Millais, Inness, Monet, Homer, Pissarro, Tom Thomson, Paul Nash, and more.
The winter saw two of his finest and most important paintings, The Jack Pine and The West Wind – both painted in the studio. But he still painted outdoors as much as he could.
After a winter working on decorative panels, he had another successful and productive season painting outdoors in Algonquin Park.
More superb paintings from his most productive year, 1915, including wild flowers, different approaches to autumn, and a snowstorm.
In a very prolific year, he made a view finished paintings on canvas, but the great majority were plein air oil sketches, of which some of the best are shown here.
The first in a series of articles commemorating the centenary of his death. His oil sketches are simply brilliant.
There are many important anniversaries to celebrate in paintings this year: here are some tasters.
