Born in Hantsport, Nova Scotia, Robert Pope (1956-1992) was a graduate of NSCAD. After developing Hodgkin’s Disease in his twenties, he channeled his experiences of being a cancer patient into his art.

In the Gallery are two paintings by Italian artist Salvator Rosa (1614-1673).

The paintings are prime examples of Rosa’s trademark frothy landscapes that are anything but idyllic.
