EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "La Fontaine du square de l'Archeveche; Derriere Notre-Dame, 1847" transports us back to the enchanting streets of Paris in the 19th century. Created by the talented artist Hippolyte Bayard and printed in 1965, this gelatin silver print captures a moment frozen in time. The image showcases the stunning Fountain of the Virgin located in Square Jean XXIII, just behind the iconic Notre-Dame Cathedral. Crafted between 1843 and 1845 by Alphonse Vigoureux, this architectural masterpiece stands as a testament to France's rich heritage. The photograph beautifully captures every intricate detail of this Gothic marvel. The flying buttresses soar gracefully against the backdrop of Notre-Dame's majestic spires, evoking a sense of awe-inspiring grandeur. The play of light and shadow adds depth to each element captured within the frame. As we gaze upon this piece of art from Heritage Images at the Art Institute Chicago, we are transported into a different era—a time when medieval architecture dominated Parisian landscapes. This photograph is not simply an image; it is a window into history itself. Hippolyte Bayard's skillful composition allows us to appreciate both his artistic vision and his ability to capture historical significance through photography. Through his lens, he immortalizes not only buildings but also emotions—awe, wonderment, and reverence for our shared cultural heritage. In this single frame lies centuries worth of stories waiting to be discovered—an invitation for all who behold it to step back in time and explore their own connection with history.
