EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable reconstruction drawing by Peter Dunn, part of the English Heritage Graphics Team. The image takes us back to the heart of medieval England, specifically Rievaulx Abbey in North Yorkshire. Steeped in history and religious significance, this monastic marvel flourished during the mid 13th century. The focus of this illustration is the infirmary cloister, an integral part of abbey life where monks sought solace and healing. With meticulous attention to detail, Dunn's graphic brings this sacred space to life once more. Every archway and pillar is intricately depicted, transporting viewers into a world long past. Rievaulx Abbey itself was renowned for its grandeur and spiritual devotion. As one gazes upon this print, it becomes evident that religion played a central role in shaping every aspect of monastic existence here. The tranquil atmosphere exuded by the drawing invites contemplation on the lives led within these hallowed walls. Through this evocative artwork, we are reminded not only of our rich heritage but also of the dedication and craftsmanship that went into constructing such awe-inspiring structures. This print serves as a testament to both Peter Dunn's artistic prowess and Historic England's commitment to preserving our collective memory. As we admire this glimpse into Rievaulx Abbey's past, let us appreciate how art can transport us across time and immerse us in worlds long gone – reminding us that even centuries later, their stories continue to resonate with our own
