EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate beauty of "The Ascension" a tympanum from the Porte Miegeville in Toulouse, France. Created around 1120 by an anonymous French artist, this masterpiece is located at St. Sernin, one of the most renowned Romanesque churches in Europe. The photograph showcases the south porch entrance of the nave, where this remarkable piece of art resides. The relief sculpture depicts the moment when Jesus Christ ascends into heaven after his resurrection. Every detail on this tympanum exudes exquisite craftsmanship and devotion to religious storytelling. As we delve into this image, our eyes are drawn to the angelic figures surrounding Jesus as he rises towards the heavens. Their delicate features and graceful poses evoke a sense of awe and wonderment. The romanesque architecture serves as a magnificent backdrop for these celestial beings, enhancing their ethereal presence. Notably, every architectural element contributes to creating a harmonious composition: from the intricately carved capitals to the detailed friezes and lintels that frame this divine scene. This photograph allows us to appreciate not only each individual component but also how they come together seamlessly. Paul Maeyaert's skillful capture ensures that viewers can experience all these nuances with clarity and precision. Through his lens, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand this extraordinary example of medieval artistry and spirituality – an everlasting testament to human creativity inspired by faith.
