EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Saint-Eugene-Sainte-Cecile church in Paris, a true testament to architectural brilliance. Built in 1854-1855 at the behest of Napoleon III, this grand structure stands as a memorial to Eugene de Beauharnais, the emperor's uncle. The plans for this masterpiece were initially entrusted to Lusson but were later taken over by Louis Auguste Boileau (1837-1914), who introduced an innovative approach. Boileau revolutionized church architecture by employing a fully metallic structure within Saint-Eugene-Sainte-Cecile. Hollow cast iron columns and ribbed arches made of iron formed the backbone of this remarkable edifice. The interior is adorned with vibrant paintings that meticulously recreate the medieval ambiance found in ancient churches. Captured in 2023 by talented photographer Sebastien Beaucourt, this image encapsulates both history and modernity. It reflects not only the architectural marvels of the 19th century but also highlights how they continue to captivate audiences well into the 21st century. As you gaze upon this print, let yourself be transported through time and space to experience the beauty and cultural significance of Saint-Eugene-Sainte-Cecile church. Immerse yourself in its colorful splendor and appreciate how it has become an integral part of Paris' rich artistic heritage. With every detail captured flawlessly by Beaucourt's lens, you can almost feel as if you are standing within those hallowed walls yourself.
