EDITORS COMMENTS
View of the Temple in 1450: A Glimpse into Paris' Medieval Past". This print takes us back to the year 1450, offering a fascinating glimpse into the rich history of Paris. The illustration, originally featured in "Paris Through The Ages" in 1885, showcases a view of the Temple - an imposing fortress built by the Knights Templars during the thirteenth century. The image reveals a complex structure with various architectural elements. We can see the Tour de Cesar standing tall, alongside a chapel and Hotel du Grand Prieur. Once serving as a prison and later becoming infamous as a jail for the French Royal family during the revolution, this formidable stronghold was eventually demolished by Napoleon in 1811. The color lithograph beautifully captures both the grandeur and mystery surrounding this non-extant castle. It transports us to an era when knights roamed its halls and prisoners languished within its walls. As we gaze upon this historical relic through time's lens, we are reminded of how cities evolve and transform over centuries. The Temple's destruction may have erased it physically from existence, but its legacy lives on through images like these – preserving moments that would otherwise be lost to oblivion. Let this mesmerizing artwork transport you back to medieval Paris – where castles stood tall, fortresses held secrets untold, and history unfolded amidst these ancient stones.
