EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent "The Royal Portal, north door" of Chartres Cathedral in Chartres, France. The focal point of this image is the beautifully carved tympanum depicting the Ascension, created by the French School in the 12th century. The intricate details and craftsmanship of this medieval architectural masterpiece are truly awe-inspiring. The scene depicts Jesus Christ ascending to heaven surrounded by a celestial aura, with angels adorning both sides. Each figure exudes grace and elegance as they seem to come alive within the stone. As we gaze upon this photograph, we can't help but be transported back in time to an era where art and architecture were intertwined expressions of faith and devotion. The Gothic style is evident in every aspect of this portal - from its pointed arches to its delicate tracery. Beyond its religious significance, there are also signs of the zodiac incorporated into the design, adding another layer of symbolism and meaning. This fusion between heavenly realms and earthly elements further enhances our appreciation for this remarkable piece. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' skillful capture, we have been granted a glimpse into history that allows us to marvel at not only the artistic prowess but also at how such creations continue to inspire generations even today.
