Ian Borthwick, Silent Symmetry, 2020

The empty streets and absence of traffic during Covid was for me a golden opportunity to admire the unspoiled symmetry of some of Paris’ great squares. This is no exception, with a rare shot of Place Vendôme, perhaps the most perfectly proportioned of all the squares of Paris, devoid of human presence. In the centre of the square, lit by the morning sun, stands the astounding Vendôme Column, crowned by a statue of Napoleon. The column itself is made from 425 spiralling bas-relief bronze plates, forged from enemy cannon captured by Napoleon’s armies at the Battle of Austerlitz.

This is a limited edition of 12 prints (plus two artist proofs).

Printed on Photo Rag Ultra Smooth paper and mounted to Kapa board.
