<p>Crossing rue Rivoli | Paris | October 2026<br />
<br />
Tour Saint-Jacques is a monument located in the 4th arrondissement of Paris, France, on the Rive Droite. This 52-metre (171 ft) Flamboyant Gothic tower at the intersection of the Rue de Rivoli with Rue Nicolas-Flamel is all that remains of the former medieval Church of Saint-Jacques-de-la-Boucherie ('Saint James of the Meat Market'), which was partially rebuilt in the 16th-century and demolished in 1797, during the French Revolution, leaving only the tower. The stones of the old church were treated as if it were a quarry.<br />
<br />
What remains of the destroyed church of Saint-Jacques-de-la-Boucherie is now considered a national historic landmark.<br />

<i>Manet se montre un grand admirateur de la peinture espagnole, dans laquelle il voit une alternative aux modèles académiques. Ici, il s'inspire très directement des compositions de Zurbarán, et notamment du Saint François en prière qu'il a pu voir dans sa jeunesse dans la Galerie espagnole au Louvre. La touche de Manet doit beaucoup aussi à celle de Diego Velázquez, contemporain de Zurbarán. En interprétant la peinture du Siècle d'or, Manet fait de la tradition espagnole une voie vers la modernité.</i> (Extrait du cartel)<br />
<br />
Œuvre présentée dans l'exposition Zurbarán. 1598-1664<br />
Musée du Louvre, Paris<br />
<i>Francisco de Zurbarán compte, avec Diego Velázquez et Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, parmi les peintres espagnols les plus importants du XVIIe siècle. D’abord considéré comme un caravagesque marqué par l’ascétisme monastique, il a progressivement été reconnu au XXe siècle comme un coloriste prodigieux et célébré pour son style très personnel, qui allie la simplification des volumes à un naturalisme saisissant. La National Gallery de Londres, le musée du Louvre et l'Art Institute de Chicago ont donc décidé de s’unir pour proposer une rétrospective qui permettra de découvrir ou de revoir sa peinture, de mieux la comprendre et d’être éblouis par la modernité et la force plastique de ses compositions.</i> (Extrait du site de l'exposition)<br />
