Ozias Leduc en Mauricie

I want to know more!

  • This charming neo-Romanesque church, built in 1924 and now a National Historic Site of Canada, houses the last major project of painter Ozias Leduc, which he began in 1942 at the age of 77! A leading figure in sacred art in Canada, nicknamed the Michelangelo of Quebec, Leduc devoted the last 13 years of his life to this fascinating work.

 

  • You can admire fifteen large paintings by Leduc, remarkable for blending secular scenes with sacred subjects. We recommend the interactive audio guide visit with a tablet and headphones, featuring Gabrielle Messier, Leduc’s assistant, who reveals the secrets of this great painter as she guides you through the site.

 

  • And if a concert is announced here, don’t miss it, the acoustics are superb!

We’re really lucky to have rubbed shoulders with this great artist and to have such a treasure in Shawinigan! It’s a hidden treasure that should not be missed when visiting Shawi.
