EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the Ile Notre-Dame, now known as Ile Saint-Louis, in Paris during the late 16th century. Painted by an anonymous French artist, this oil on canvas artwork provides a detailed glimpse into the island before its transformation in the 17th century. The image showcases a portion of the painting that highlights various aspects of daily life on the island. In this particular scene, laundry workers can be seen diligently drying their washing along the riverbank. The island served as both a place for these workers and a grazing ground for horses and cattle. From our vantage point at Place de Grève (now called Place de l'Hôtel de Ville), we are able to observe other significant landmarks across the Seine River. On one side stands the majestic Abbey of Saint-Victor while on the other lies Ile de la Cité. It is fascinating to note that during this period, Ile Notre-Dame was under ecclesiastical ownership after being granted to the bishop of Paris by King Charles the Bald in 867. However, it would soon become property of Notre-Dame's canons. With its historical significance and meticulous attention to detail, this artwork transports us back centuries ago when Paris was still undergoing urban development under Louis XIII and Marie de Medicis' regency.
