This exhibition shines light on Québec City’s leading role as the colony’s artistic capital, from its origins to the late 19th century. The focus is on the period under British rule (1763-1867) and the pieces chosen from our collection include religious and secular paintings and sculptures, works on paper and decorative art objects. All the principal artists and movements that marked Québec art history over this 250-year period are represented.
