EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate details of a medieval stone sculpture, known as Dragon N090561, found at St. Augustine's Abbey in Canterbury, Kent. Crafted from Caen stone, this fragment showcases the exceptional artistry and decorative elements that adorned architectural structures during ancient times. The focal point of this image is undoubtedly the figure of a dragon, expertly carved with meticulous precision. Its sinuous body coils gracefully, while its fierce expression and outstretched wings exude an air of power and mystique. The craftsmanship on display here is truly remarkable; every scale seems to have been carefully chiseled into existence by skilled hands. Steve Cole's photography beautifully captures not only the physical beauty of this sculpture but also its historical significance. This artwork serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that lies within England's historic sites like St. Augustine's Abbey. As we gaze upon Dragon N090561 through Steve Cole's lens, we are transported back in time to an era where such sculptures were symbols of religious devotion and artistic excellence. It invites us to appreciate the skill and creativity required to create such masterpieces centuries ago. This print is more than just a visual delight; it serves as a testament to our shared history and reminds us how important it is to preserve these treasures for future generations to admire and learn from.
