Saint Sulpice, Paris: La Grande Tour 1900

Donald Shaw MacLaughlan’s 1900 etching, "Saint Sulpice, Paris: La Grande Tour," depicts the grandeur of the church of Saint Sulpice in Paris. MacLaughlan’s masterful use of line and shading captures the intricate details of the church's architecture, including the prominent tower visible in the background. The artist’s use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and realism, giving the viewer a glimpse into the bustling Parisian streets. This etching, part of the Art Institute of Chicago's collection, is a testament to MacLaughlan's skill as a printmaker and his appreciation for the architectural beauty of Europe.
