Place Royale, Mid Century Oil on Canvas

Mid century oil urban scene on canvas, signed Armande Marcoux Langelier and dated 77 lower right, titled verso. depicting one of Québec City’s most recognizable historic landmarks - Place Royale - rendered in the artist’s distinctive, softly romantic style. The composition is anchored by the iconic Notre-Dame-des-Victoires Church, whose weathered stone façade and modest steeple dominate the square. Historic buildings frame the scene on either side, creating a natural perspective that draws the viewer toward the church. Small figures scattered throughout the plaza - children at play, pedestrians, and people gathered around the monument.

Executed with delicate brushwork and a muted palette of warm stone, soft greys, pale blues, and earthy browns, the painting evokes the timeless atmosphere of Old Québec. How wonderful..
