    The baptistery of Sainte-Jeanne-de-Chantal

    Designed in the 1930s by Julien Barbier in a Romano-Byzantine style with a broad dome, the church was damaged by bombing during the Second World War and completed only after it. The choir sculpture is by Jean Touret and his son Sébastien. In 2016 two chapels beside the high altar were newly fitted out, with charcoal drawings by Jean-Louis Sauvat that serve as a ground for projected color. The photograph shows the baptismal basin beneath Sauvat’s Baptism of Christ, the drawing seen in charcoal alone, without projected color.
