Frederick Arthur Verner is one of several fine painters who made the Canadian West his subject, though he didn’t actively pursue his art until he finished a stint in the British army that included fighting for Italian independence under Garibaldi. Verner returned to Canada, where, in 1873, he journeyed with a government detail to sign an important First Nations treaty. His sketches from this trip, and the careful studies of buffalo he began to make in 1875 formed the bulk of the reference he would use throughout his career. Mid-Day Buffalo depicts a languid, peaceful moment on what seems to be an endless prairie with only an undulant line of hills in the hazy distance.
-James D. Balestrieri
