EDITORS COMMENTS
This atmospheric painting captures the awe-inspiring beauty of L'église de la Madeleine, a Catholic church located in the heart of Paris. Designed over time by a distinguished group of architects, including Pierre-Alexandre Vignon, Pierre Contant d'Ivry, Jacques-Marie Huve, and Guillaume-Martin Couture, this architectural masterpiece was initially conceived as a temple to the glory of Napoleon's army. Later, it was named after Mary Magdalene. Built between the late 18th and early 19th centuries, the church showcases a harmonious blend of architectural styles, from neoclassical to Gothic Revival. The intricate facade, adorned with columns and statues, is a testament to the architects' vision and craftsmanship. The painting, created circa 1917, captures the church's grandeur and the ethereal quality of the light filtering through the stained glass windows. The vibrant colors and rich details in this painting bring the church to life, transporting the viewer to the bustling streets of Paris. This work of art, from the Mary Evans Prints Online collection, is a must-have for any art lover or history buff. Volume October, Frederick Francis Foottet, from the March of the Women Collection, offers a unique perspective of this iconic Parisian landmark, making it a valuable addition to any collection.
