        History

        William R. Hope was born on May 18, 1863, in Montreal, Quebec.

        He was a prominent Canadian painter, draftsman, and war artist noted for his landscapes. Born into a wealthy family in Montreal, Quebec, he traveled to Paris in the 1880s to study art, frequently practicing in the Forest of Fontainebleau. Afterward, he continued his studies in the Netherlands and Italy. Returning to Montreal, he quickly became an influential member of the Montreal art community and of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts, to which he was elected a member of the council in 1906. In 1890, he founded the Pen and Pencil Club of Montreal. As women were not allowed to join, it helped precipitate the creation of the Women's Art Association of Canada in 1894.

        In 1897, he married Constance Kingsmill Jarvis. He died on February 5, 1931, in Montreal, Quebec.
