The fascination with angels has
transcended many generations. People are warmed by the notion of celestial beings
watching over them. This winter, Canada Post will rekindle the spirit
of angels with a delightful Christmas set of three stamps featuring
the angelic sculpture of seventeenth- and nineteenth-century Quebec
artists.
THE QUÉBEC ACCENT
Sculptural style evolved during the two centuries in which these three
works of art were produced. Artists in early Quebec were influenced by
the various European - and particularly the French - artistic
movements, but a certain originality borne of Quebec's unique cultural
context became evident in their sculpture.
