EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent west facade of the Church of St. Augustin in Paris, a true architectural masterpiece. The drawing, created with intricate pencil strokes on paper by Victor Baltard in the 19th century, captures every detail of this iconic structure. Built between 1860 and 1871, this church holds historical significance as it was one of the first to incorporate iron into its construction. This innovative use of materials allowed for grandeur and strength that had not been seen before in church buildings. The image highlights several notable features of the facade. The jamb figures, meticulously depicted by Baltard's skilled hand, add an element of grace and elegance to the overall design. The dome rises majestically above them, commanding attention with its impressive size and intricate detailing. A stunning rose window serves as a focal point at the center of the composition. Its delicate tracery creates a mesmerizing play of light within the interior space when sunlight filters through it. Baltard's architectural drawing skillfully captures all these elements while showcasing his expertise in capturing perspective and proportions accurately. This print is a testament to both artistic talent and architectural prowess. It invites viewers to appreciate not only the beauty but also the innovation behind this remarkable piece of French history captured forever on paper.
