EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching by Franz Xavier Habermann, titled 'View of Les Recollets in Quebec, 1755-1779,' offers a glimpse into the colonial past of Quebec, Canada. The image, created during the 18th century, is a product of the Imperial Franciscan Academy in the Austrian Netherlands (now Belgium). The meticulous detail and vibrant colors of this work showcase the academy's high artistic standards. The scene depicts the picturesque view of Les Recollets, a church and monastery complex, nestled in the heart of Quebec City. The imposing stone structure of the church stands proudly against the backdrop of the city, with its red-tiled roof and tall spire reaching towards the sky. Soldiers, likely Dutch or French, are seen marching in the foreground, adding a sense of military presence to the peaceful setting. The urban landscape is bustling with activity, with people of all genders and ages going about their daily tasks. Women in traditional clothing can be seen in the background, while men work on the streets or tend to their horses. The soldiers, with their weapons at the ready, give the impression of a city on alert, perhaps due to the tensions of the time. The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands, is the current home of this historic artwork. It serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Quebec and the European influence on its history. The intricate details of this etching provide a fascinating window into the past, offering a glimpse into the daily life of Quebec City during the colonial era.
