Living in Paris for most of his life, Morrice (1865-1924) was the first Canadian painter to make regular trips to Venice from the mid 1890s to about 1908.

During his lifetime, Morrice's Venetian pictures appeared in art exhibitions in Paris, London and other European countries, as well as in Montreal and the United States. Constantly cited in exhibition reviews, Morrice was praised for his modernity, and his Venice works have ensured his fame and importance for years to come.
