Art Gallery of Ontario

Encyclopedic art museum with a major Group of Seven collection and works spanning centuries of European and Canadian art.
This guide to the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto opens with a painting that spent nearly two hundred years wrongly attributed, cycling from a minor Flemish hand to an obscure workshop assistant, and ending up mislabeled in an Austrian monastery. In 2001 a Sotheby's specialist named George Gordon stood in front of it and felt something was off about the brushwork and the violent, twisting bodies of Herod's soldiers, coiled together in a knot of limbs and terror. Take a slow look at that canvas before you move on to the next room.
