EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph, taken in 1855, captures the breathtaking facade of the Eglise de Saint Gervais et Saint Protais, a historic Christian church located in the heart of Paris, France. The church, dedicated to the saints Gervais and Protais, is a prime example of French Baroque architecture and has stood as a significant religious and cultural monument for centuries. The photograph showcases the church's impressive Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian columns and pilasters, which frame the entrance and add to the grandeur of the structure. The intricate details of the columns and pilasters are further accentuated by the contrasting white stone against the dark background, creating a visually striking image. The church's facade is adorned with various statues and crosses, adding to its religious significance. The central statue of the Virgin Mary and Child, surrounded by angels and saints, can be seen at the top of the facade, while smaller statues and crosses decorate the columns and corners of the building. The photograph also highlights the beautiful stained glass windows, which add a splash of color to the otherwise monochrome exterior. The intricate patterns and designs of the stained glass windows are a testament to the craftsmanship and artistry of the time. The Eglise de Saint Gervais et Saint Protais is not only a place of worship but also a significant historical landmark in Paris. Its rich history and architectural beauty make it a must-visit destination for tourists and history enthusiasts alike. This photograph, taken over 160 years ago, offers a glimpse into the past and the enduring beauty of this magnificent structure.
