Rue Valette et le Panthéon
1926
Swedish architect Ferdinand Boberg traded his blueprints for a pencil to capture this quiet Parisian moment in 1926. The massive dome of the Panthéon rises like a majestic giant at the end of Rue Valette, dwarfing the classic apartment buildings lining the street. The scene is surprisingly empty, giving the usually bustling Latin Quarter a rare, serene atmosphere, as if the city is holding its breath while Boberg sketches away.
