The Group of Seven were an important and influential school of Canadian landscape artists. They aren't particularly well known outside of Canada, though that is changing, but in Canada, they are THE artists that people will mention if you ask them to name a Canadian artist. And for good reason too; their paintings are lovely.

They travelled extensively, especially in Ontario, and many of their paintings are of scenes in Northern Ontario and around Sault Ste. Marie where I grew up.
Here's a site created by Sault Tourism that allows you to view some of the locations that they made famous and get information about how you can visit the area to see those sites in person. I highly recommend doing so; the Sault is a great place to visit and the scenery of Algoma is awe inspiring.
