During his fifty-seven-year career in Montreal, William Raphael became known for his genre scenes depicting the activities of everyday Canadians. Although most art historians have focused on his oil paintings of the Bonsecours Market, Raphael produced a profound and diverse body of work, punctuated by numerous portraits and landscapes. Inspired by his adopted country and its people, he never ceased depicting them through art imbued with realism.
