Description: | Signed: yes Description: Dauzats enjoyed painting imposing buildings and depicted many church interiors. This painting shows the inside of the Church of St. Roch in Paris, not far from the Louvre. The view looks upward across the nave of the church at the supporting archways opposite and the clear glass windows above them. Although the loose brushwork shows that the work was only a rough study, there is significant precision in Dauzat's efforts to capture the complexity of the vaulted architecture. The compositional use of accumulating arches and the sunlight spilling in from on high conveys an immense sense of height and space. | Subjects: | Paris) Interior; place (Church of St Roch | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Dauzats, Adrien (French painter, printmaker, 1804-1868) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8975... | Go to resource |
