EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print transports us back to the year 1870, capturing a moment frozen in time. Standing tall against the Parisian skyline is the magnificent Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, also known as Chapelle Russe. Completed just nine years prior in 1861, this Russian Orthodox church stands as a symbol of cultural diversity and religious harmony. The grandeur of this architectural marvel is evident even without any human presence. Its vertical structure dominates the frame, reaching towards the heavens with its intricate details and ornate spires. The absence of people allows us to focus solely on appreciating its beauty and craftsmanship. As we gaze upon this historic scene, we are reminded that art transcends borders and brings cultures together. This photograph captures a unique blend of French elegance intertwined with Russian spirituality—a testament to how different traditions can coexist harmoniously within one city. Preserved through archival photography by Hulton Archive/Getty Images, this print serves as a visual time capsule that invites us to step into history for a brief moment. It reminds us that beyond its religious significance, Chapelle Russe represents an enduring connection between two nations—an emblematic landmark where faith meets artistic expression. Whether you admire it for its architectural brilliance or appreciate it as an embodiment of cultural exchange, this print offers a glimpse into an era when religion and art converged beautifully on the streets of Paris
