New France has long inspired artists to put down on canvas or paper the period’s historic events. Through their work, they bring to life a daily existence now bygone. As the French colony’s capital, Québec City has been an important part of these artistic legacies. This album invites you to discover many such works, created by artists of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
