EDITORS COMMENTS
This maquette, or model, by Merry Joseph Blondel dates back to the 19th century and represents the decor of the Chapelle des Morts, also known as the Chapelle des Ames, in the Église Notre-Dame-de-Lorette in Paris, France. The intricately detailed model showcases the rich colors and textures of the chapel's interior, with God the Father, Christ, and the Virgin Mary at its center, surrounded by angels of the Last Judgment and angels playing music. The central focus of the composition is the Resurrection of Christ on the tympan of the entrance. Blondel, a renowned French architect and painter, expertly captured the essence of this significant religious space in this plaster model. The use of oil paint adds depth and dimension to the various architectural elements, from the intricate carvings on the columns to the delicate details of the angels' robes. The model's small scale belies the grandeur and complexity of the actual chapel, making it an invaluable tool for scholars and historians studying the architectural and artistic heritage of Parisian churches during this period. Today, this precious maquette is housed in the Musée du Petit Palais in Paris, where it continues to captivate visitors with its intricate details and historical significance. The Chapelle des Morts, with its stunning decor and religious symbolism, remains an important part of France's rich cultural heritage and a testament to the artistic vision of Merry Joseph Blondel.
