EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving showcases the grandeur of Hotel de la Vrilliere, a historic landmark in Paris. Built during the 17th century by renowned architect Francois Mansart, this architectural masterpiece was originally commissioned for Louis Phelypeaux, Seigneur de la Vrilliere. The image captures the intricate details and exquisite craftsmanship that went into creating this magnificent structure. In 1712, Hotel de la Vrilliere changed hands when it was purchased by Louis-Alexandre de Bourbon, comte de Toulouse, who sought to enhance its splendor. He enlisted Robert de Cotte, Premier Architecte du Roi (First Architect of the King), to redesign and elevate the house to new heights of opulence. Renamed as Hotel de Toulouse, it became a symbol of luxury and sophistication. Over time, this iconic building found a new purpose as it became home to Banque de France in 1811. Today, it stands as a testament to both its rich history and its significance in modern times. The print offers viewers an opportunity to marvel at the timeless beauty of French architecture from centuries past. It transports us back in time to an era where elegance reigned supreme and attention to detail was paramount. This engraving is not just a visual delight but also serves as a reminder of Paris' enduring allure as one of the world's most enchanting cities.
