Je me souviens. When Art Imagines History

July 31, 2008—December 31, 2009

The exhibition showcases some 35 paintings, sculptures and pastels of a historic nature, grouped under two main themes: “Mettre l’histoire en scène” and “L’Hôtel du Parlement”. The works date from the height of the commemorative movement in Québec, 1880 to 1930. Featured are paintings by Eugène Hamel, Napoléon Bourassa, Charles Huot and Marc-Aurèle de Foy Suzor-Coté and sculptures by Louis-Philippe Hébert and Alfred Laliberté. The exhibition provides an opportunity to view two monumental historical works that are unique in Canada: The Apotheosis of Christopher Colombus, de Napoléon Bourassa, and Demonstration of Canadians against the English Government at Saint-Charles, in 1837, also called The Assembly of the Six Countiesby Charles Alexander.
