Yet, by adapting certain modern forms, each one acquired its own character. The church of Saint-Paul-et-Saint-Louis was a collaboration between Martellange who drew the initial plans and another Jesuit architect, François Derand, who was responsible for the design of the façade. The photo shows the nave. ## Related artworks - [Interior view]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
