Decorative Engraved Panthéon Paris in the 1800s by Bry & Benoist

About the Item

The image is an engraving of the Panthéon in Paris, created by Auguste Bry (1805–1880) and Philippe Benoist (1813–). The Panthéon originally served as a church dedicated to St. Genevieve but now functions as a mausoleum containing the remains of distinguished French citizens. The print showcases the neoclassical architectural style of the building, characterized by its Corinthian columns and large dome, reminiscent of the Pantheon in Rome. This type of engraving was a common way to document and share the grandeur of important architectural works in the 19th century, often found in books or as standalone pieces for educational or decorative purposes. It reflects the artists' attention to detail and the importance of the Panthéon as a national symbol of France. The Panthéon in Paris is the final resting place of many of France's most illustrious individuals, a tradition that began as a way to honor those who had made significant contributions to French society, culture, and politics. Some of the notable figures buried there include: 1. **Voltaire** (1694–1778) - One of the Enlightenment's most influential writers and philosophers. 2. **Jean-Jacques Rousseau** (1712–1778) - A prominent philosopher, writer, and composer of the 18th century. 3. **Victor Hugo** (1802–1885) - Renowned writer best known for his novels "Les Misérables" and "The Hunchback of Notre-Dame." 4. **Émile Zola** (1840–1902) - A major French novelist and the most important exemplar of the literary school of naturalism. 5. **Alexandre Dumas** (1802–1870) - Author of classic works such as "The Three Musketeers" and "The Count of Monte Cristo," transferred to the Panthéon in 2002. 6. **Marie Curie** (1867–1934) - The Nobel Prize-winning scientist known for her research on radioactivity. 7. **Louis Braille** (1809–1852) - Inventor of Braille, a system of reading and writing used by people who are visually impaired. 8. **Jean Jaurès** (1859–1914) - French socialist leader. 9. **Jean Moulin** (1899–1943) - A high-profile member of the French Resistance during World War II. 10. **André Malraux** (1901–1976) - A novelist, art theorist, and Minister for Cultural Affairs. The Panthéon continues to be a revered place of interment for French luminaries, symbolizing the nation's respect and recognition for those who have shaped its identity and legacy. The print of the Panthéon does not have a specific creation date visible in the image provided. However, given that the artists Auguste Bry and Philippe Benoist were active in the 19th century, with Bry's years listed as 1805–1880 and Benoist's birth in 1813, the print would have been created sometime in the mid to late 19th century, most likely between the 1830s and the end of the century.
