Hidden Beauties: Dialog with History

Today's hidden beauty is a strange sculpture that can be found on Place de Paris, very near Place Royale. The monument, called "Dialogue avec l'histoire" (Dialog with History) was given to Quebec City by the city of Paris and represents the transition of our people to modernity.

Despite its name, the work of the french artist Jean-Pierre Raynaud is not very well understood. So here is a short explanation.

First, it is enligned with the bust of Louis XIV located on Place Royale. It is in fact an abstract statue that represents the contemporary answer to the french King that shaped our past. So the beauty of it is that the monument can represent whoever you want.

You can find the photo gallery of the Hidden Beauties under the tab Quebec City.
