ITR4553824: Detail of the central portal vaults. Angelots occupy the first two vaults while in the next two patriarchs, prophets and teachers of the Church took place. The carved characters in the vaults follow the curve of the archivolt while the angelots look at the scene of the eardrum as arms in the baustrade of Heaven.

TEC4554705: Grand Magazine La Samaritaine, Paris 1. Architecture by Frantz Jourdain (1847-1935) and Henri Sauvage (1873-1932), 1926-1928. The Samaritaine is the result of the meeting of three strong personalites: the couple Ernest Cognacq - Louise Jay and the architect Frantz Jourdain. The Samaritan is the shop that went the farthest in the alliance of visual arts and advertising so characteristic of Art Nouveau. He does not prevent the massive use of iron from being forgiven to Frantz Jourdain. Just reserved for the poor, he was approached by the School of Fine Arts and the political community... No salvation except stone. The metallic structure painted in blue is set with ornaments: fresco by Francis Jourdain, enamelled flowery lavas by Francois Gillet and mosaic signs by Eugene Grasset. Note the admirable Art Nouveau ironwork of the staircase. Photography 1996. / Bridgeman Images
