EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 17th century print depicts the Eglise des Carmes, a historic church located in the heart of Paris, France. Dedicated to the Carmelite Order, this beautiful place of worship was built between 1620 and 1630, during the reign of Marie de Medicis. The church's exterior is a masterpiece of Roman Baroque architecture, with its distinctive red brick walls, intricately carved columns, and ornate sculptures. At the center of the image, the church's impressive dome and cupola tower proudly rise above the surrounding rooftops. The church's name, "Eglise des Carmes," refers to the Carmelite Order, whose members are known for their commitment to prayer and penance. The order's symbol, the cross, can be seen throughout the church's decoration, including on the sculpture of St. Thérèse and St. Élie at the base of the tower. The church was also home to a residence for the Carmelite priests and a prison, reflecting the diverse functions of religious institutions during this period. The print also shows the exterior of the church, with its intricate details and elegant design, inviting visitors to explore its history and spiritual significance. The Eglise des Carmes is a testament to the rich cultural and religious heritage of Paris and France, and a must-see destination for anyone interested in history, architecture, or the study of Christianity. This print offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the 17th century and the vibrant world of Parisian life during that time.
