The Madones of Lyon

The Church of Saint-Bruno des Chartreux, Lyon’s only building with purely Baroque curves, will become the stage for a unique photographic tribute in spring 2026. From April 18th to May 2nd, the lens will focus on the many faces of the Virgin Mary who have been watching over this sanctuary for centuries. Between plays of light and shadow, the photographs capture the delicacy of the sculptures, the brilliance of the mural paintings, and the precision of the sumptuous mosaics. This series of images offers a fresh perspective on details often invisible to the naked eye, revealing the genius of the artists and artisans of the past. Devotion blends here with technical mastery to celebrate an exceptional sacred heritage. A visual promenade that brings back to life the decorations of this architectural jewel, accessible to all history and aesthetics enthusiasts.
