EDITORS COMMENTS
La Ste. Chapelle, Paris, 1839" is a stunning black and white lithograph by Thomas Shotter Boys, showcasing the exquisite exterior of the Sainte-Chapelle in Paris, France. Built in the 13th century, this architectural masterpiece is a prime example of Gothic art and was commissioned by King Louis IX for the housing of his collection of Passion relics. Boys' meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate depiction of the chapel's famous stained-glass windows, which bathe the interior in a kaleidoscope of colors during the day. The lithograph, however, captures the structure's grandeur in monochrome, highlighting the intricate stonework and the delicate tracery of its pointed arches. The image transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate the beauty of this architectural marvel as it would have appeared to the untrained eye during the 19th century. The contrast between the dark, textured stone and the lighter areas of the sky and clouds creates a sense of depth and dimension, further emphasizing the chapel's impressive height and scale. The Sainte-Chapelle, with its iconic twin towers and elaborate rose window, has long been a symbol of French heritage and religious significance. This lithograph by Thomas Shotter Boys serves as a testament to the enduring allure of this remarkable structure, inspiring awe and admiration in generations of art lovers and history enthusiasts. Today, this precious piece of heritage art can be found in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world.
