Summary

[edit]
Description
Français : Potelet de l'église de la Madeleine, place des Prêcheurs, Aix-en-Provence (France).

« Les Dominicains ou frères prêcheurs, possédaient ici depuis 1274 un vaste couvent hors les murs auprès des nouvelles populations pauvres des faubourgs, auxquelles ils destinaient leurs soins et leurs prédications. La Madeleine était leur église et l’édifice actuel reprend dans son mur sud et son chevet des éléments médiévaux de sanctuaires précédents.

L’église fut rebâtie de 1691 à 1703 sur les plans de Laurent Vallon, mais la façade resta inachevée. Ce n’est qu’en 1855-1860 que l’architecte Henri Revoil y plaque une façade monumentale. Transformée en Temple de la Raison sous la Révolution, elle est église paroissiale depuis 1791.

L’église, vaste et simple, compte cinq travées et un transept sous une coupole. De nombreux Aixois célèbres y sont inhumés, tel Gaspard du Périer ou Nicolas Fabri de Peiresc. Elle conserve plusieurs tableaux importants dont une Annonciation du 15e siècle de Barthélemy d’Eyck. Le maître-autel date de 2004. »
