“Our Lady of Paris”

Alexei Butirskiy has chosen the iconic image of the Notre Dame Cathedral, Paris or Notre Dame de Paris ('Our Lady of Paris' in French) for his newest release.

Captured in the setting with a magnificent sky, the Cathedral represents the finest Gothic architecture of its time.

The history of this building dates back to 1163 and took over 182 years to complete.

It is the cathedral of the Catholic archdiocese of Paris: that is, it is the church that contains the "cathedra", or official chair, of the Archbishop of Paris, Andre Cardinal Vingt-Trois. 

The artist’s work represents a combination of strength, tranquility and magnificent beauty.
