EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the intricate details of the Basilica Saint-Denis, specifically focusing on the plan of the Valois Tower. Created in 1705 by Charles Inselin, this engraving provides a glimpse into the mausoleum ordered by Catherine de Medicis for her husband Henri II and their children. The Valois Tower, located within the cemetery of the Royal Abbey of Saint Denis, was intended to be a grand burial site for French Kings. However, due to its unfinished state and subsequent destruction in 1719, it remains only as a historical relic captured forever in this photograph. Also known as Notre Dame de la Rotonde or Notre-Dame-de-la-Rotonde, this mausoleum represents an important chapter in French history. The image showcases its architectural beauty and serves as a testament to the power and influence of the Medici dynasty during that time. Through Studio Giraudon's lens in 1928, we are transported back to witness this remarkable tomb with all its grandeur intact. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its significance as a symbol of royalty and legacy. As we gaze upon this engraving today, we can't help but marvel at how such historical artifacts continue to captivate our imagination centuries later.
