A Life of Art and Architecture
Napoléon Bourassa was a prominent Canadian architect, painter, and writer based in Montreal, Quebec. Born in L'Acadie, Quebec, he studied at Sulpician College in Montreal. While he initially interned with Norbert Dumas to prepare for a legal career, he later chose to become a painter, studying with Theophile Hamel from 1850 to 1852. His education continued through travels to Paris, Rome, and Florence, accompanied by the German painter Johann Friedrich Overbeck.
As an architect, Bourassa designed several notable structures, including:
- Chapelle Notre-Dame de Lourdes de Montréal
- Institut Nazareth et Louis Braille
- Church of Montebello, Quebec
- St. Anne Shrine in Fall River, Massachusetts (with architect Louis G. Destremps)

His artistic works include the painting The Apotheosis of Christopher Columbus, and he sculpted a bust of his father-in-law, Louis-Joseph Papineau. He was also a member of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts.
In addition to his creative pursuits, Bourassa served on a government commission of inquiry for Quebec in 1877 and traveled to France to study various schools of arts, crafts, and drawing.
