EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Pavillon de l'Horloge of the Louvre, a true masterpiece of architecture. Built between 1639 and 1642 by Jacques Lemercier, this iconic pavilion stands proudly in the heart of Paris, France. The west facade of the Pavillon de l'Horloge is truly awe-inspiring. Its grandeur is enhanced by the presence of Corinthian columns that exude elegance and sophistication. The intricate details on each column are a testament to Lemercier's mastery as an architect. As you gaze at this photograph, your eyes will be drawn to the stunning mansard roof that crowns this architectural gem. It adds a touch of charm and uniqueness to an already remarkable structure. Intriguingly, caryatids sculpted by Jacques Sarazin adorn this pavilion, further enhancing its beauty and artistic value. These graceful figures seem to come alive against the backdrop of one of Europe's most renowned art galleries. The clock pavilion itself serves as a symbol not only for timekeeping but also for history and culture. It stands tall within La Cour Carrée, surrounded by centuries-old masterpieces housed in what was once a royal palace turned museum - Palais du Louvre. With its striking tympanum and meticulous attention to detail, it is no wonder that this photograph captures both art enthusiasts and admirers alike.
