EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "The Floods of 1856, Church of Saint-Pothin, Lyon" captures the aftermath of a devastating natural disaster that struck Lyon in June 1856. Created by the talented artist Edouard Baldus, this image showcases his mastery in capturing both architecture and landscape. In this haunting scene, we witness the destructive power of nature as floodwaters engulf the magnificent Church of Saint-Pothin. The neoclassical structure stands tall amidst the chaos, its grandeur contrasting with the surrounding devastation. The church's exterior bears witness to the damage inflicted by the floods, serving as a testament to human vulnerability against forces beyond our control. Baldus' skillful use of photography adds depth and intensity to this historical moment frozen in time. The absence of color allows us to focus on intricate details such as waterlogged debris scattered around the churchyard and reflections shimmering on its flooded surroundings. As we gaze upon this photograph from over a century ago, it serves as a reminder not only of Lyon's resilience but also our own capacity for recovery in times of adversity. This work is part of Edouard Baldus' remarkable collection housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art – an invaluable heritage art that continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty and historical significance.
