Saint-Denys du Saint Sacrement

Saint-Denys du Saint Sacrement

Etienne Hippolyte Godde was selected in 1823

 as the architect of this church in the Marais.  

The style is reflective of the time but the paintings of the Restoration Period 

are of particular interest.  

The most prestigious is the "Deposition of the Cross" 

by Eugene Delacroix.

If you enjoy the work of Delacroix, you could go on a hunt 

around Paris to see how many you could find in the Paris churches.

Église Saint-Denys-du-Saint-Sacrement

Église Saint-Denys-du-Saint-Sacrement was the first parish church built during the Restoration (after the French Revolution). The interior works of art make it worth a visit -- The most prestigious is The Pieta which was painted by Eugene Delacroix in 1843 in a mere 17 days.

The ornate ceiling in the entryway is repeated within of the church the full length of the nave. I will have to return for photos of the organ pipes.
