Paris, late May, the Senate Library at the Luxembourg Palace. Warm light enters through arched windows and skylights, gilding the edges of towering wooden bookshelves filled with leather-bound volumes in muted tones. The corridors stretch long and vaulted, their ceilings adorned with intricate carvings and frescoes that catch the sunlight in flickers. Figures move sparingly, their presence marked by the quiet rustle of documents on a long table or the glint of a polished desk chair beneath the ceiling’s ornate details. Ludwig Favre works here, where light and shadow play across the surfaces of this rare, privileged space.

A hand adjusts a document on a long table beneath a ceiling of gilded carvings and chandeliers, where light flickers in delicate highlights.

The Luxembourg Palace library photography series by Ludwig Favre is available as a limited edition fine art print, signed and numbered.
