EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to July 1357, capturing a significant moment in the history of Paris. The image depicts Etienne Marcel, a prominent politician and provost of the merchants, acquiring the Maison des Pillars on the Place de Greve. This iconic building, known as the "House of Pillars" was purchased by Marcel on behalf of the municipality of Paris. Illustrated by Louis Charles Bombled in 1862-1927 for "Les grandes journees de l'Hôtel de Ville" by Mercier, this artwork beautifully captures the historical significance of this event. The composition is strikingly detailed, showcasing Marcel standing proudly outside the Maison des Pillars with his entourage. The acquisition of this grand building marked an important milestone for Parisian governance during that era. It symbolized not only Marcel's influence and power but also represented a shift towards greater municipal control over public spaces. Through this photograph, we are transported to a time when political figures like Etienne Marcel played crucial roles in shaping cities' destinies. It serves as a reminder that history is made up of countless moments like these – where individuals make decisions that shape our collective future. Preserved within private collections and now brought to light through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, this print allows us to appreciate both its artistic value and historical significance.
