EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures "The Mortuary, Paris (La Morgue)" in 1854, a hauntingly beautiful piece of architecture by Charles Meryon. The image showcases the exterior of this iconic building located on the quay of the River Seine in Paris, France. Meryon's etching and drypoint technique on laid paper brings out every intricate detail of the mortuary's design. The chimneys emit smoke into the sky, creating an eerie atmosphere that perfectly complements its purpose as a place for identifying and displaying deceased bodies. The photograph transports us back to 19th-century France, where death was both feared and revered. It serves as a reminder of our mortality while highlighting Meryon's exceptional artistic talent in capturing such somber subject matter. As we gaze upon this historic landmark, we can't help but contemplate the lives lost within its walls. The Mortuary stands as a testament to human fragility and reminds us of our shared fate. This print is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art collection and is considered one of Meryon's most significant works. Its inclusion in Heritage Images allows us to appreciate not only his skillful craftsmanship but also his contribution to French heritage art. Whether you are drawn to architectural marvels or fascinated by historical landmarks, this black and white masterpiece will undoubtedly captivate your imagination with its timeless beauty.
