EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time as tourists explore the crypt of the church of Saint-Denis, Paris. The focal point of their visit is the magnificent tomb of Henri de La Tour d'Auvergne, Vicomte de Turenne, a revered French military leader from the Thirty Years War. The image showcases the grandeur and solemnity of this sacred space. The vaulted ceilings and intricate sepulchre create an atmosphere that transports visitors to another era. As they stand before Turenne's final resting place, one can only imagine the awe and reverence felt by these curious travelers. The color engraving by John Claude Nattes beautifully brings out every detail, allowing us to appreciate both the architectural splendor and historical significance of this site. It is evident that this photograph was taken during a period when tourism was beginning to flourish, as evidenced by the presence of these fascinated onlookers. Visiting such landmarks not only satisfies our thirst for knowledge but also connects us with our past and heritage. This particular image serves as a reminder that even centuries later, we continue to be captivated by great figures like Turenne who have left an indelible mark on history.
