EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Demolition of the Church of Saint-Jean-en-Greve" by Pierre Antoine Demachy. Painted in gouache on paper around 1800, this artwork measures 34x44.8 cm and is currently housed at the Musee de la Ville de Paris, Musee Carnavalet in Paris, France. The painting depicts a significant moment in history as it captures the destruction of the Church of Saint-Jean-en-Greve. The church, which was built in the 13th century, stood as an architectural marvel until its demolition between 1797 and 1803. This site later became home to the Hotel de Ville.

Through this artwork, we witness not only an act of destruction but also a reflection on change and progress within urban landscapes. It serves as a reminder that even cherished structures can be subject to transformation over time.
