EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing detail of the tower from the former LU factory in Nantes, Loire-Atlantique. The tower stands tall, showcasing its intricate architectural design that reflects the art nouveau style prevalent during the early 20th century. Atop this magnificent tower is a stunning white marble sculpture called "La Fame" created by sculptor Francois Perraud in 1909. This allegorical Greek deity is depicted waving a trumpet and surrounded by six zodiac signs, adding an enchanting touch to the overall composition. The photograph beautifully highlights the ornate decoration of both the tower and the sculpture. Every intricate detail comes to life as light and shadow play upon their surfaces, creating a sense of depth and texture. The historical significance of this location cannot be overlooked either. The LU factory holds great importance as it was once home to Lefevre-Utile, a renowned biscuit company that played an integral role in French culinary culture. Through this image, we are transported back in time to witness not only architectural brilliance but also appreciate the artistic movement that influenced its creation. It serves as a reminder of France's rich cultural heritage and showcases how art can seamlessly blend with industrial structures. Overall, this print encapsulates beauty, history, and craftsmanship all within one frame—a true testament to human creativity standing tall against time's passage.
