EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a detailed section of "The Montagne Sainte-Genevieve" which is part of the renowned plan of Paris made around 1540, known as Plan de la Gouache. Created by an anonymous French artist in the 19th century, this colored engraving offers a glimpse into the rich history and architectural beauty of Paris. The Montagne Sainte-Genevieve, depicted here with precision and finesse, was one of the oldest plans of Paris. Painted in 1540 for Etienne de Montmirail, the Prevot des Marchands (Provost of Merchants), it served as a vital tool to navigate through the bustling streets and iconic landmarks that adorned the city during that time. Although tragically lost in the fire at Hotel de Ville in 1871, this facsimile copy from around 1860 allows us to appreciate its intricate details once again. The image showcases not only the majestic church but also surrounding houses and walls that formed an integral part of early Parisian life. As we delve into this piece, we are transported back to the vibrant streets and narrow alleyways that have witnessed centuries worth of stories unfold. This historic map serves as a testament to both human ingenuity and artistic craftsmanship, reminding us of our connection to our past while inspiring us to explore further into our future. Through this print captured by Bridgeman Images from Fine Art Finder's collection, we can now cherish and admire this remarkable piece forevermore.
