Illustrated by Dominique Mathez, Text by Joël Orgiazzi
Lively watercolors and ink drawings of refined facades draw a
compelling portrait of Paris, where each building is accompanied by its
delightful ornamental details.
This elegant book invites readers to lift up their eyes while
strolling throughout Paris’s streets and boulevards to pause, discover, and
appreciate the facades of its buildings and the delicate artworks that are
their windows, doors, and balconies. Innumerable motifs ornament the architecture
of the French capital—each a minor masterpiece of fine design and ironwork
artistry.
Exquisite, never-before-published watercolors
and ink drawings by French illustrator Dominique Mathez bring each building’s
beautiful exterior to life. Away from the over-celebrated monuments and
landmarks, the city’s true, subtle charm emerges, distilled in a striking
invitation to take a new look and rediscover its architecture through the ages.
Complete with an informative text by one of today’s most renowned design
experts, Olivier Gabet, this sophisticated volume is the ideal gift for
Francophiles and Paris lovers everywhere.
