EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in circa 1905, showcases the grandeur and elegance of the Grand Palais in Paris, France. Designed by the renowned architect, Albert Louis Jean Baptiste Eugène Deglane, the Beaux-Arts style building was inaugurated in 1900 for the Exposition Universelle (World's Fair) to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution. The image beautifully captures the architectural masterpiece in its early years, with its iconic glass and iron structure illuminated by the soft glow of the setting sun. The Grand Palais was built to house the fine arts exhibitions, and its vast interior spaces have since welcomed countless artworks and visitors from around the world. Deglane's design was inspired by the Palais de l'Industrie, which was built for the 1889 Exposition Universelle. However, the Grand Palais surpassed its predecessor in size and grandeur, with its impressive dimensions of 487 meters long, 137 meters wide, and 40 meters high. The architect's vision was to create a space that would inspire awe and admiration, and this photograph captures the essence of that vision. The intricate details of the building's facade, from the ornate sculptures to the meticulously crafted columns, are on full display in this photograph. The reflection of the setting sun on the glass and water in the surrounding pool adds an ethereal quality to the image, making it a true testament to the beauty and history of the Grand Palais in Paris.
