EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable Tomb of Charles Le Brun and his wife, Suzanne Butay, created in 1692. Crafted from marble by the talented sculptor Antoine Coysevox, this masterpiece can be found in the Church of Saint-Nicolas-du-Chardonnet in Paris, France. The image captures a moment of profound penitence and piety as we see a full-length bust of Suzanne Butay seated beside an obelisk-shaped monument. Her expression exudes virtue and serenity, while her husband's statue stands tall behind her with a dignified wig adorning his head. Every intricate detail is brought to life through this photograph taken by Giraudon Studio in 1920. The studio's expertise perfectly highlights the baroque style evident in both sculptures. The composition beautifully portrays the couple's eternal bond as they sit side by side for eternity within their mausoleum. Charles Le Brun was not only a renowned French painter but also an influential art theorist who held the esteemed position of First Painter to King Louis XIV. This tomb serves as a testament to his significant contributions to art history. As we gaze upon this stunning piece captured by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to witness the everlasting beauty that lies within these marble statues. It is truly a sight that evokes admiration for both artistic skill and devotion between two souls united even beyond death itself.
