In View of Lorneville, NB, Tom Roberts captures the rural character of the New Brunswick landscape in the mid-20th century. The composition features a small group of buildings in the midground, set against a backdrop of expansive, steep hills. These dramatic landforms rise in the distance and are rendered in shades of blue, green, yellow, and brown, contributing to the contrast between the cultivated land in the foreground and the natural terrain in the background.
Lorneville, New Brunswick is a small coastal community located on the western edge of Saint John, overlooking the Bay of Fundy.
Named in honour of the Marquess of Lorne (Governor General of Canada from 1878–1883), the area was originally known as Pisarinco, later changing the name to Lorneville.
