In a sign painted on the wall of the Saints-Archangels Church, the well-known Romanian sculptor Constantin Brancusi (1876-1957) is commemorated, who is considered one of the fathers of abstract sculpture. Constantin Brancusi moved to Paris in 1905 to study art, and in this city he remained most of his days and died there.
As depicted in the second plaque, this church was a spiritual refuge for the artist.

The church was photographed on the same day Click for a larger image Click for a larger image
