EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1553 offers a unique perspective of the iconic Bastille in Paris, as seen through the eyes of a bird soaring high above. The intricate details and precise lines of this historical print transport us back to the late 16th century, allowing us to imagine what it must have been like to witness this formidable fortification from such a lofty vantage point.
The Bastille, known for its role in French history as both a prison and symbol of royal authority, is depicted here with stunning clarity and precision. From the towering walls to the intricate architecture within, every aspect of this imposing structure is brought to life in exquisite detail.
As we gaze upon this bird's eye view of the Bastille, we are reminded of the rich history and significance that surrounds it. The engraving captures not only the physical presence of this fortress but also hints at the power dynamics and political intrigue that once played out within its walls.
Through Photo Josse's masterful work, we are given a glimpse into a bygone era where castles stood tall and birds soared freely overhead. This print serves as both a historical document and a work of art, inviting us to ponder the stories hidden within its ancient stone walls.
