EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the stunning facade on the Seine of Palais Bourbon in Paris, as depicted by Jacques Francois Blondel in his engraving for L Architecture Francaise. The image captures the grandeur and elegance of this architectural masterpiece, which was built between 1722-28. Originally designed by Giardini and later continued under Jacques V Gabriel for Louise Francoise de Bourbon, daughter of Louis XIV and Madame de Montespan, Palais Bourbon has a rich history. In 1795, it became the seat of the Council of the Five Hundred and today serves as the seat of National Assembly. The intricate details and exquisite craftsmanship are evident in every aspect of this facade. From its ornate windows to its majestic columns, each element contributes to its timeless beauty. The Italian-inspired style adds a touch of sophistication to this French architectural gem. As we gaze upon this photograph, we can't help but be transported back in time to an era filled with opulence and refinement. It is a testament to human creativity and ingenuity that such structures were constructed centuries ago. This print from Mariette P. , dating back to the 17th-18th century, allows us to appreciate not only the artistry captured within it but also serves as a reminder of our connection with history. It is a true treasure that reminds us why Paris is often referred to as "the city of love" - love for art, culture, and architecture that transcends time itself
