Quebec City Mural, Urban art fresco in Quebec City, Canada
The mural covers a large windowless wall of Soumande House on Notre-Dame Street, featuring a three-dimensional cityscape and historical figures of Quebec City.
Created in 1999 by twelve French and Quebec artists, this fresco illustrates Quebec City's 400-year history through architectural elements, seasons, and cultural communities.
The mural depicts notable figures including Jacques Cartier, Samuel de Champlain, Louis Jolliet, and François-Xavier Garneau, representing Quebec's first national historian.
Located at 29 Rue Notre-Dame near Place-Royale, the mural stands at the base of Côte de la Montagne, accessible through Old Quebec's pedestrian areas.
The trompe-l'œil technique creates optical illusions that make flat surfaces appear three-dimensional, integrating real architectural elements with painted features.
