EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the breathtaking beauty and grandeur of the Basilique du Sacré-Cœur de Montmartre, or Sacré-Cœur Basilica, in Paris, France, as it appeared around the turn of the 20th century. Designed by architects Paul Abadie and Victor Laloux, and completed in 1914 after Abadie's death, the basilica stands atop the highest point in the city, Montmartre, and offers visitors a stunning panoramic view of Paris. Commissioned in 1875, the construction of Sacré-Cœur was inspired by the devotion of the French people to the Virgin Mary, following the devastating Franco-Prussian War and the Siege of Paris in 1870. The design of the basilica is characterized by its white stone facade, intricate details, and Byzantine-Romanesque architectural style. The large dome at the center of the basilica, which can be seen in this photograph, is adorned with a golden statue of the Virgin Mary, holding the infant Jesus. The photograph, taken circa 1905 by an unknown artist, provides a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era of elegance and historical significance. The image showcases the intricate details of the basilica's architecture, from the intricately carved stonework to the ornate statues and intricate mosaics. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the bustling streets of Paris, with horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians making their way through the city. This photograph is a testament to the enduring beauty and historical significance of the Sacré-Cœur Basilica, a symbol of faith and hope for the people of Paris and beyond. The basilica continues to attract millions of visitors each year, who come to marvel at its architectural splendor and to take in the breathtaking views of the city below.
