EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the ethereal beauty of an angel sculpture in the Sainte-Chapelle, Paris. Created by Auguste Mestral in 1853/54, this salted paper print transports us back to the 19th century, allowing us to appreciate the intricate details and craftsmanship of this religious artwork. The delicate wings of the angel are gracefully spread out, as if ready to take flight. The statue's serene expression and gentle posture evoke a sense of tranquility and spirituality. It stands tall within the chapel, emanating a divine presence that is both awe-inspiring and comforting. Mestral's mastery in capturing light and shadow adds depth to this monochromatic image, emphasizing every contour and texture of the sculpture. The contrast between light and dark enhances its dramatic impact while highlighting its symbolic significance within religious iconography. As we gaze upon this timeless piece of art, we are reminded not only of France's rich cultural heritage but also of humanity's enduring fascination with spiritual themes. This photograph serves as a testament to Mestral's artistic vision as well as his ability to immortalize moments that transcend time itself. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago, this photograph invites viewers into a world where art merges with faith, inviting contemplation on our own beliefs and connection with something greater than ourselves.
