The art of Quebec has developed around the specific characteristics of its landscapes and cultural, historical, social and political representations. The development of Quebec masterpieces in painting, printmaking and sculpture is marked by the contribution of artists such as [[Louis-Philippe Hébert]], [[Cornelius Krieghoff]], [[Alfred Laliberté]], [[Marc-Aurèle Fortin]], [[Marc-Aurèle de Foy Suzor-Coté]], [[Jean Paul Lemieux]], [[Clarence Gagnon]], Adrien Dufresne, [[Alfred Pellan]], [[Jean-Philippe Dallaire]], [[Charles Daudelin]], [[Arthur Villeneuve]], [[Jean-Paul Riopelle]], [[Paul-Émile Borduas]] and [[Marcelle Ferron]].

The fine arts of Quebec are displayed at the [[Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec|Quebec National Museum of Fine Arts]], the [[Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal|Montreal Museum of Contemporary Art]], the [[Montreal Museum of Fine Arts]], the Quebec ''Salon des métiers d'art'' and in many art galleries.

Quebec's architecture is characterized by its unique [[Canadien]]-style buildings as well as the juxtaposition of a variety of styles reflective of Quebec's history. When walking in any city or town, one can come across buildings with styles congruent to [[Classical architecture|Classical]], [[Neo-Gothic]], [[Roman architecture|Roman]], [[Neo-Renaissance]], [[Greek Revival architecture|Greek Revival]], [[Neo-classical architecture|Neo-Classical]], Québécois Neo-Classical, [[Victorian architecture|Victorian]], [[Second Empire architecture|Second Empire]], [[Modern architecture|Modern]], [[Post-modern architecture|Post-modern]] or [[Skyscrapers]].

Canadien-style houses and barns were developed by the first settlers of New France along the banks of the Saint Lawrence River. These buildings are rectangular one-storey structures with an extremely tall and steep roof, sometimes almost twice as tall as the house below. Canadien-style churches also developed and served as landmarks while traversing rural Quebec.
