EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Julian's Baths, an illustration from Versailles, Paris and Saint Denis. Created by John Claude Nattes in 1809, this aquatint captures the essence of these ancient Roman baths that were once used for storing wine barrels in the 18th century. The image reveals a mesmerizing interior with billows of smoke rising from cauldrons and rows of wine casks neatly arranged within vaulted ceilings. The historical significance of Julian's Baths is not to be overlooked. It was here that Roman Emperor Julian the Apostate visited during his time in Paris between 358 and 359/60. He held such affection for the city that he famously referred to it as "my beloved city". Today, these baths are part of the renowned Musee de Cluny. The photograph transports us back in time, allowing us to witness a glimpse into the past where fire flickered beneath cauldrons and countless wine casks were stored within these remarkable vaults. The ambiance is both mysterious and enchanting, evoking a sense of awe at the ingenuity and grandeur of ancient architecture. This stunning piece from Bridgeman Images offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate French history while marveling at the beauty found within Les Bains de Julien - truly a treasure nestled within Hotel de Cluny in Paris, France.
