EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grandeur of the Basilica Saint-Denis, specifically focusing on the Valois Tower. The engraving, created by Jean Marot in 1655, showcases the architectural masterpiece that was once a mausoleum ordered by Catherine de Medicis for her husband Henri II and their children. The Valois Tower stands tall amidst the cemetery of the Royal Abbey of Saint Denis, serving as a burial site for French Kings. Its elegant design features stunning columns and a magnificent dome that exude regality and power. Although unfinished and tragically destroyed in 1719, this engraving allows us to appreciate its former glory. The image transports us back in time to an era when dynasties reigned supreme. It invites us to marvel at the intricate details of this architectural wonder - from its rotunda-like structure to its meticulously designed tombs. Each element tells a story of royalty and nobility. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the importance placed on memorializing those who held positions of power throughout history. The Basilica Saint-Denis serves as both a testament to their legacy and an artistic achievement in itself. Through Marot's skillful engraving technique, Studio Giraudon brings this historical artifact into our present day. This photograph is not just an image; it is a window into another time - one filled with opulence, reverence, and everlasting remembrance.
