Title
English: Bound Print, Pompe funèbre de Marie Thérèse d’Espagne Dauphine de France, en l’église de Notre Dame de Paris, le XXIV novembre M.D.CCXLVI (Funeral of Marie Thérèse of Spain, Dauphine of France, in the church of Notre Dame, Paris, November 24, 1746), 1756
Description
English: Interior view of the cathedral of Notre Dame during the funeral ceremony for Marie Thérèse of Spain in Paris, France. Highly decorated interior with vaulted ceilings, stained-glass windows, candelabra, and drapery. On a mezzanine level, large arched niches similar to opera boxes full of seated figures. At the center of each arch, a large ornamented escutcheon surmounted by a crown. At the ground level, crowds of figures sit and stand for the service. An ornate baldachin at center, the columns of which are decorated with many candelabra. At the center of the baldachin is a sculptural group: two classical female figures with a large urn decorated with festoons between them. Above the baldachin, a large hanging canopy, the fabric of which is decorated with a pattern of diamonds, the top of which is decorated by a skull. A row of monks sit in the center foreground in traditional costume, viewed from behind. Some of the monks as well as the men at left and right sides hold long rifles.
