St. Anne's Church St. Anne's vibrant wall paintings make this church a place of national historic significance. They were executed in 1923 by ten Toronto artists, including J.E.H. MacDonald, F. Varley and F. Carmichael from the Group of Seven. Their decorative composition, inspired by Byzantine art, complements the church's architectural style chosen in 1907 by Canon Lawrence Skey, the rector for more than 30 years. The art reflects the revival of mural decoration in the late 19th century, and is also a manifestation of the Arts and Crafts movement which united painting and sculpture with architecture.

L'église St. Anne L'église St. Anne s'avère d'importance historique nationale grâce à son admirable ornementation inspirée par l'art religieux byzantin. Celle-ci fut réalisée en 1923 par dix artistes torontois, dont J.E.H. MacDonald, F. Varley et F. Carmichael du Groupe des Sept, animant le style architectural choisi en 1907 par le chanoine Lawrence Skey, le pasteur pendant plus de trente ans. Elle témoigne du renouveau de l'ornementation amorcé à la fin du XIXe siècle et du mouvement Arts et métiers qui cherchait à intégrer la peinture et la sculpture à l'architecture.
