The city sits on a steep north-facing slope of the Avalon Peninsula, shaped by a working harbour that has been a transatlantic waypoint since John Cabot anchored here in 1497, and by the particular light of an island province where fog and brilliance alternate hourly and the horizontal sun hits the coloured clapboard facades with a saturated directness found nowhere else on the Atlantic seaboard. The streets are steep, the locals are named Callahan and Parsons and Furey, and the laneways behind George Street form the most concentrated pub district per capita in North America.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe palette is immediate and unambiguous: the deep signal red of the heritage clapboard, the primary blue of the harbour doors, and the wide grey-white of the Atlantic fog rolling through the Narrows from the open sea. St. John's is a watercolor city built in a primary palette — strong, direct, and unapologetically Atlantic.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"st-johns-newfoundland-original-series-gallery-canvas","title":"St. John’s, Newfoundland | Original Series Gallery Canvas | The Painted Passport®","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eST. JOHN’S, NEWFOUNDLAND\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSt. John’s is the oldest and most easterly city in North America — a harbour town on the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland where the hills above the narrows are covered in the densest concentration of brightly painted wooden houses in Canada, and where the quality of the Atlantic light at the edge of the continent produces a palette of cobalt blue harbour water, amber and red sunset sky, and the specific vivid colours of the Jellybean Row houses — white, red, blue, yellow, and green — that have made the waterfront of St. John’s one of the most painted and photographed townscapes in Canada. Viewed from the hills above the harbour, the town reveals itself as a series of overlapping layers — the dark green of the spruce and fir in the foreground, the still blue of the inner harbour channel reflecting the amber of the sky, the warm golden warehouse on the waterfront dock with its dark slate roof and its reflection in the water below, and the coloured houses climbing the hillside behind in a patchwork of white, red, and blue against the brown of the autumn hills. The city was the departure point for Cabot, the landing point for the first transatlantic telegraph cable, the site of Marconi’s first transatlantic wireless transmission, and the jumping-off point for Alcock and Brown’s first transatlantic flight in 1919, and the combination of that Atlantic-facing history with the specific exuberant colour culture of Newfoundland gives St. John’s a character unlike any other city in North America.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis high-quality canvas print brings the extraordinary colour and the Atlantic drama of St. John’s into your living space — the warm golden waterfront warehouse reflected in the still harbour channel, the patchwork of coloured houses on the hillside behind, the dark foreground spruce, and the amber and orange of the Newfoundland sunset sky.
