EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of the "Portal from the West Facades" at Notre Dame la Grande in Poitiers, France. Created by the French School in the 12th century, this stunning piece of stone carving is a true testament to medieval artistry and craftsmanship. The photograph captures a carved relief scene depicting figures from Genesis, specifically Adam and Eve from the Old Testament. The attention to detail is remarkable as every curve and contour of their bodies are meticulously rendered. The arch surrounding them adds an element of grandeur to this masterpiece. One cannot help but be drawn to the exquisite Tree of Jesse featured prominently in this artwork. This symbolizes Jesus Christ's lineage according to biblical tradition, with Jesse being his ancestor. Its presence serves as a reminder of both human ancestry and divine salvation. The overall composition transports viewers back in time, allowing us to marvel at the artistic achievements of our ancestors. The Romanesque style prevalent during that era shines through every aspect of this portal - its strong lines, bold forms, and rich symbolism. Bridgeman Images has impeccably captured all these elements within their photo print, preserving not only a historical artifact but also an enduring work of art that continues to inspire awe today.
