EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the frontispiece from "The Building of St. Sulpice" by Alexis Piron, dating back to approximately 1744. The artwork is a remarkable collaboration between two renowned artists, Alexis Piron and François Boucher, who beautifully depict the architecture and heavenly ambiance surrounding this iconic church. Intricately engraved and etched by Claude Augustin Duflos le Jeune, this piece captures a group of people illuminated by lanterns in front of St. Sulpice. Among them are men, women, and children gazing up at an angelic figure with wings spread wide open against the night sky. The image exudes a sense of awe as it transports us to eighteenth-century France, showcasing the country's rich religious heritage during that time period. The delicate lettering in Latin text adds an air of mystique while subtly hinting at the importance of Christianity within this scene. With its rococo style and attention to detail, this frontispiece invites viewers into a world where artistry meets spirituality. It serves as both an homage to architectural grandeur and a testament to human fascination with divine realms. Displayed proudly in museums worldwide such as The Met, this print allows us to appreciate the skillful craftsmanship behind each stroke while immersing ourselves in the ethereal atmosphere captured within its frame.
