Galeries Lafayette Stained Glass Dome - Paris Art Nouveau Architecture

Sale price$39.00
Material:
Size:

The magnificent stained glass dome of Galeries Lafayette soars above the grand boulevard Haussmann store in Paris, its Art Nouveau ironwork and Byzantine-inspired glass panels a masterpiece of Belle Epoque design. Completed in 1912 by master glassmaker Jacques Gruber, this 43-meter-high cupola transforms sunlight into a kaleidoscope of color turquoise, gold, amber, and cobalt blue cascading through ornate floral motifs and geometric patterns. Looking straight up into this architectural crown jewel, you see not a department store but a cathedral of light, commerce, and Parisian ambition.
