Manly Edward MacDonald (1889 – 1971) was a Canadian semi-impressionistic painter who was born in Point Anne, close to Belleville, Ontario. He was the son of William MacDonald, a farmer and fisherman who emigrated to Canada from England. His work captured and recorded rural Ontario practices such as ploughing, cutting ice, collecting sap, logging and fishing. He is particularly renowned for his depictions of working horses in flowing motion, streams and gristmills.
