Summary

[edit]
Description

The church of Saint-Philippe-du-Roule "was built in the late 18th century, designed by Jean-François Chalgrin who submitted his plans in 1764 although construction did not begin until 1774 and the blessing of the church took place only in 1784.

Two additions were incorporated in the 19th century, the first by Hippolyte Godde between 1843 and 1847, then another by Victor Baltard in 1853. Godde built the ambulatory and the central chapel (chapel of the Virgin), Baltard was responsible for the catechism chapel to the left of the choir. In 1852, Théodore Chasseriau received a commission to decorate the half-dome above the choir. He completed his Descent from the Cross painting of oil on plaster in 1856 (ill. 3). Between 1885 and 1887, stained-glass windows by Emile Hirsch were installed in the nave. Finally, the church was found to be too dark so openings were made in the vaulted ceiling in 1895 and more stained-glass windows provided by the Champigneulle workshop after cartoons of Albert Maignan." <a href="http://www.thearttribune.com/The-state-of-churches-in-Paris-1.html" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.thearttribune.com/The-state-of-churches-in-Paris-1.html</a>
