Fresque des Québécois

This colossal trompe-l'œil mural in Old Québec was inaugurated on October 17, 1999 and unfolds as a painted panorama of more than 400 years of Québec history. It was produced by CitéCréation with the participation of Hélène Fleury, Marie-Chantal Lachance, and Pierre Laforest. ([fr.wikipedia.org](https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fresque_des_Qu%C3%A9b%C3%A9cois)) Its style is illusionistic rather than graffiti-driven: façades, stairways, fortifications, seasonal atmospheres, and emblematic architecture are folded into a theatrical wall that blends painted fiction with the real city around it. Historical figures such as Samuel de Champlain, Jacques Cartier, Lord Dufferin, and Félix Leclerc appear alongside shelves honoring Québec writers and artists, making the mural read like a civic memory palace in open air.
