Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Between 1870 and 1900 the second phase of decoration (actual decoration) was the work of Curé Benjamin-Victor Rousselot and Victor Bourgeau Quebec's most active architect of that era.

While travelling in France Curé Rousselot had been deeply impressed by the style and symbolism of The Saint-Chapelle in Paris which he proposed as a source of inspiration for Bourgeau .

The blue and gold color chosen, the gilded leaves in the vaulting and on the columns are specially reminiscent of the Saint-Chapelle.

The poly- chrome decoration consists entirely of sculpted wood.
Français : La décoration actuelle réalisée entre 1870 et 1900 ( la deuxiéme phase de la décoration de l'église ) est l'oeuvre du Curé Benjamin-Victor Rousselot et de Victor Bourgeau l'architecte québecois le plus actif de l'époque.


Le style et le symbolisme de la Sainte-Chapelle à Paris impressionnent fortement le Curé Rousselot , alors en voyage en France. Il propose donc à l'architecte Bourgeau de s'en inspirer ; ce sont surtout les couleurs choisies , les motifs des feuilles d'or dans la voûte et les colonnes qui nous rappellent la Sainte-Chapelle.

Cette décoration polychromique est entièrement composée de sculptures en bois.
