"Skagway" is a painting by Frederick Grant Banting, the Canadian physician and scientist best known for his co-discovery of insulin, for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1923. Beyond his medical achievements, Banting was also an accomplished artist who took up painting as a hobby and later developed a serious interest in it, studying under Group of Seven members A.Y. Jackson and Arthur Lismer.

The painting "Skagway" depicts a scene from the town of Skagway, Alaska, which is historically known for its significance during the Klondike Gold Rush in the late 19th century. Banting's work as an artist often reflected landscapes and his travels, and "Skagway" is an example of his engagement with the rugged and picturesque environments of North America.

While Banting's artistic career was secondary to his scientific work, his paintings have gained recognition for their contribution to Canadian art. "Skagway" is a testament to Banting's skill as a landscape painter and his ability to capture the essence of the northern landscapes that inspired him. The painting is characterized by its use of color, light, and composition to convey the atmosphere and beauty of the Alaskan scenery.

As an artist, Banting's style was influenced by the Group of Seven, and his works are often noted for their vibrant palette and the sense of tranquility they evoke. "Skagway" is held in esteem not only for its aesthetic qualities but also for its connection to a prominent figure in the history of science, offering a unique window into the creative pursuits that complemented Banting's groundbreaking medical research.

The painting is part of the collection of the Banting House National Historic Site of Canada in London, Ontario, which also serves as a museum dedicated to Banting's life and work. "Skagway" remains an important piece within the context of Banting's artistic oeuvre, reflecting the diverse talents of a man who made significant contributions to both science and the arts.
