"Gezicht op de kerk van de abdij van Port-Royal du Saint-Sacrement te Parijs" is a 1655 etching by Matthäus Merian, a prominent German engraver and publisher. This detailed view of the Port-Royal Abbey, a significant religious and intellectual center in 17th-century France, is a prime example of Merian's architectural work. The etching showcases the abbey's church, set against a backdrop of an open courtyard and the Parisian sky, capturing the serenity of the monastic life within the bustling city. This print, housed at the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the architecture and spirit of this historically important site.
