Since 20 April 2019 (first day after fire) artist Zoia Skoropadenko came to Paris where she has one of her art studio, and as an only artist who had a right to enter the island, she used this time and privilege to go around still steaming and smoked cathedral and do sketches under the ashes falling from sky. That is why her first sketches are muddy. 

Skoropadenko  is still working on my series “Notre Dame Brule”. Each time she comes to Paris, she records the development of re-construction by sketching and painting.

 

"With LOVE to NOTRE DAME" exhibition features also Monegasque artists Eva Dmitrenko with her series of Iris flowers. Notre Dame is dedicated to the Virgin Marie. Iris is on of the symbols of the Virgin Marie. As well as British artist from Monaco Clem Chambers with his pop-art Notre Dame digital art pieces.

 

Also at exhibition was shown ancient 2D stereoscopic photography on glass by unknown photographer who visited Notre Dame in early 1920s. Visitors of the exhibition had a chance to enjoy the details of the cathedral and the views of Paris from these unique photos. 

 

Exhibition also presented works from the past by American artist Frank Boggs who worked in Paris in late 19 beggining of 20 century. And dark painting of Notre Dame by French artist Marcel Baron from 1926
