Église Saint-Médard, rue Daubenton
1923
Eugène Atget's "Église Saint-Médard, rue Daubenton" is an albumen print documenting the historic Parisian church with the characteristic documentary precision that defined his extensive photographic archive of Paris. The work exemplifies Atget's approach to urban documentation, capturing architectural and street-level details with a straightforward aesthetic that prioritized subject matter over artistic manipulation. Numbered 6438 on the reverse, this photograph forms part of Atget's systematic cataloging of Parisian landmarks and neighborhoods, work that would profoundly influence twentieth century photography and the Surrealist movement.
