Listed as a French historical monument in 1915, the church of Saint-Sulpice stands on the square of the same name in the Odeon district of the 6th arrondissement of Paris. The church is dedicated to Sulpicius Pius, Bishop of Bourges (576-646). Since 1645, successive architects have transformed the original site and shaped the building that has survived to the present day, including Christophe Gamard, Louis Le Vau, Daniel Gittard, Pierre Gittard, Gilles-Marie Oppenord, Giovanni Niccolò Servandoni, Juste-Aurêle Meissonnier, Oudot de Maclaurin, and Jean-François Chalgrin. Inside, there is a solar meridian with a gnomon to determine the position of the sun and the period of the year. It also houses important artistic treasures, such as the paintings by Eugène Delacroix: Jacob wrestling with the angel and Heliodorus expelled from the temple, or, in this case, a remarkable painting by Antonio Pereda, a painter from Valladolid: The betrothal of the Virgin with Saint Joseph, from the now disappeared convent of Saint Joseph of the Capuchin Fathers in Valladolid.
