Just out of curiosity (and because it's raining outside and I lack
motivation to do *real* work) I thought I'd look and see what I could
find in our reference books. The only reference to the quote that I
could find was in "Bartlett's familiar quotations (16th ed.)". It
says:
"A popular aphorism with the architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and
the art historian Aby Warburg; attributed [Le bon Dieu est dans le
detail] to Gustave Flaubert, but without verification."
Anyways, have a good weekend!
