EDITORS COMMENTS
Paris, France - Eglise de La Madeleine (Circa 1900): A Timeless Masterpiece of Neoclassical Architecture This photograph showcases the exterior of the Eglise de La Madeleine, a stunning neoclassical church located in the heart of Paris, France. Built between 1822 and 1842, this architectural marvel is a testament to the grandeur and artistic vision of the time. The church, designed by architects Victor-Leonard-Alexandre-Auguste Lanaire and Pierre-Antoine-Marie-Bernard Montansier, is a tribute to the Corinthian order, with its massive Corinthian columns adorning the facade. The church's tetrastyle and octostyle porticos, adorned with intricate sculptures and carvings, add to its grandeur. The triangular pediment, topped with a bronze statue of the Virgin Mary and the Magdalene, symbolizes glory and the triumph of the Christian faith. The church's history is intertwined with that of Napoleon Bonaparte, who intended it to be a temple to the glory of the Grande Armée. The ten commandments are inscribed on the entrance doors, a reminder of the church's Roman Catholic roots. The photograph captures the essence of Parisian life at the turn of the 20th century, with horse-drawn carriages parked along the Rue Royale, and Parisians going about their daily business. The Eglise de La Madeleine, with its massive columns and intricate details, stands proudly as a monument to the city's rich history and cultural heritage. This photograph is a copy of an original work, taken circa 1900, and is a beautiful addition to any collection of architectural or historical photography. The Eglise de La Madeleine is a must-see attraction for visitors to Paris, and this image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to a era of grandeur and artistic innovation.
