La Fresque des Québécois / The Mural of Quebecers

Created to beautify Place-Royale, a highly symbolic place in the national capital, this trompe-l'oeil fresco brought together twelve artists from Quebec and France on a 420-square-meter wall. It celebrates the architecture and landscapes of Quebec and presents about thirty figures amid scenery that changes with the seasons, including Jacques Cartier, Samuel de Champlain, Félix Leclerc, Louis de Buade, comte de Frontenac et de Palluau, Louis-Joseph Papineau, Frederick Temple Blackwood, marquis de Dufferin et d'Ava, Alphonse Desjardins, Marie Guyart, Thaïs Lacoste-Frémont, François-Xavier Garneau, Louis Jolliet, Jean Talon, François de Laval, Catherine de Longpré, Marcelle Manet, Marie Fitzbach, and Octave Crémazie.
