Saint-Étienne-du-Mont in Parijs 1884 - 1931

Martin Monnickendam’s 1884-1931 etching “Saint-Étienne-du-Mont in Parijs” depicts the architectural grandeur of the Parisian church Saint-Étienne-du-Mont. The artist captures the intricately detailed facade and its surrounding cobblestone streets, showcasing the intricate details of the gothic architecture. The lone figure of a nun walking towards the church adds a sense of scale and solitude, emphasizing the quiet beauty and spirituality of the scene. This etching is a testament to Monnickendam's skill and his ability to convey the essence of a place through his art.
