Created by Canadian artist Francesco Iacurto in 1951, Quebec in Winter, portrays a vivid, snow-covered urban landscape, likely a scene from the historic city of Quebec.


The painting is rich with texture and color, capturing the charm and character of the old city during winter. The viewer's perspective appears to be from a high vantage point, looking down onto the snow-laden rooftops and streets. Colorful buildings, with a dominant yellow one in the foreground, line the snow-covered street, leading the eye towards the river in the background, which is partially frozen over.


Distinct architectural elements such as the steep roofs and the church spire suggest a European influence typical of Quebec's architecture. The presence of figures in the scene adds a touch of life and movement to the otherwise still winter tableau. Smoke curling from chimneys contributes to the feeling of cold weather and the warmth of the homes.


Iacurto's technique employs thick, impasto brushstrokes, adding depth and dimension to the snow and buildings. The sky, rendered in soft pastels, contrasts with the vividness of the urban elements and adds to the overall chilly yet picturesque winter atmosphere of the painting.
