Painting Description
Porte Saint-Denis 1675 is an exceptional piece of art by French artist and engraver, Gabriel Perelle (1604 - 1677). Known for his landscape etchings, Perelle was recognized as a prolific master of the genre. The work Porte Saint-Denis 1675 is no exception. This masterpiece depicts the monument of Porte Saint-Denis, a Parisian triumphal arch dedicated to Louis XIV’s victories on the Rhine and in Franche-Comté.
The monument, seen from a slight oblique angle, is the focal point of the etching, standing prominently against the expansive cityscape. It illustrates the grandeur of the arch, emphasizing the ornate sculptures and lavish architectural details of the monument. Bustling with pedestrians and horse-drawn carriages, the scene is a vivid snapshot of Paris during the late 17th century, capturing the city's vibrant street life and the grandeur of its architecture.
The monument itself was designed by architect François Blondel at the order of Louis XIV in honor of his military victories, and was constructed in 1672, just three years before Perelle's etching. His interpretation of this architectural marvel serves not only as an art piece but also a historical record of Paris during this period.
The Porte Saint-Denis 1675 etching continues to exemplify Gabriel Perelle's expertise in capturing landscapes and architectural splendors, contributing to our understanding of the artist's oeuvre and offers an insight into the socio-cultural context of 17th-century France.
