Introduction

Since 1985, Old Québec has appeared on the prestigious historic UNESCO World Heritage list as a cultural property. 

It is in the heart of this historical, cultural and artistic site that Marie-Josée Bouchard and Christian Provost set up the Rare & Différent boutique in 2019. Two exclusives are already combined in the success recipe of the two entrepreneurs. 5D Games and Lotus Lamps to which the Umbrelland brand will quickly be added. But the recipe is incomplete, we must be inspired and integrate into this new exceptional environment. 

A local market study reveals that, in addition to the many hotels and the multitude of great gastronomic restaurants, there are 75 art galleries in the immediate vicinity. The art market is present, it’s undeniable. Globally, the art market is booming and will be propelled by the effects of the pandemic. Digital technology is transforming art which, paradoxically is reviving increased interest in the great classics of the Great Masters. Da Vinci, Van Gogh and Picasso are as famous as Marilyn, Elvis or Einstein! Despite the countless Museums and exhibitions that praise the Great Masters, no gallery in Québec exploits this market. Internationally, no one seems interested in the latest discoveries that science and technology bring to the great Masterpieces. From this amalgam, from the effervescence of this situation, the idea of ​​Great Masters Collection was born! 

Christian Provost trained in Art History, the talented graphic artist Élie Miron made his contribution and in June 2022, Great Masters Collection (GMC) was officially born.
