ABOUT THE FONTAINE SAINT-MICHEL:
The Fontaine Saint-Michel, completed in 1860, is an iconic work of monumental art from the Second French Empire. Designed by architect Gabriel Davioud and sculptor Albert-Ernest Carrier-Belleuse, this fountain embodies the harmonious fusion between architecture and sculpture. Its central element is a statue of the archangel Saint Michael slaying the dragon, symbolizing the victory of good over evil.
One of the most interesting anecdotes about the Fontaine Saint-Michel is related to its initial controversy. At the time of its construction, it was criticized for its style, considered too modern and bold for the era. Some artists and critics even questioned the relevance of such a work in the traditional landscape of Paris. However, over time, the fountain not only became accepted but also admired for its masterful representation and harmonious integration into the urban environment.
Today, the Fontaine Saint-Michel is not only an artistic symbol but also an iconic gathering and contemplation spot in the heart of Paris, attracting visitors from around the world with its fascinating history and timeless beauty.
