EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century print showcases a maquette, or model, of the decorative scheme for the Chapelle des Morts, also known as the Chapelle des Ames, in the Église Notre-Dame-de-Lorette in Paris. Created by Merry Joseph Blondel in approximately 1836, this intricate design is a testament to the rich artistic and cultural heritage of France during the Neoclassical period. The central focus of the composition is the triad of God the Father, Christ, and the Virgin Mary, surrounded by angels and figures from the Last Judgment. The upper portion of the model depicts the Resurrection of Christ on the tympanum of the entrance. The overall effect is one of grandeur and spirituality, with the use of gilding and gold leaf adding an ethereal glow to the plaster and oil painting. The Chapelle des Morts was a significant part of the Notre-Dame-de-Lorette church, which was built in the late 18th century and served as a military hospital during the French Revolution. The chapel was a place of refuge for the persecuted, and the decorative scheme reflects the religious and spiritual themes that were important to the community during this tumultuous time. This maquette, now held in a Paris museum, offers a unique glimpse into the artistic and historical significance of this important chapel and the role it played in the religious and cultural life of Paris during the 19th century. The intricate details of the model, from the gilded angels to the martyred saints and soldiers, are a testament to the skill and craftsmanship of Merry Joseph Blondel and the enduring legacy of Neoclassical art.
