EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the 12th century, offering a glimpse into the intriguing world of Fontenay Abbey in Montbard, Burgundy, France. The image showcases three distinct architectural wonders - a prison, scriptorium, and chapter house - all beautifully captured by photographer Luisa Ricciarini. The Romanesque style of this Cistercian abbey is evident in every detail. The imposing prison stands tall against the backdrop of lush greenery, reminding us of the strict religious order that once governed these walls. Adjacent to it is the scriptorium, where monks meticulously transcribed ancient texts and illuminated manuscripts with utmost devotion. Its tranquil atmosphere seems to seep through the photograph. Further along lies the chapter house; its grandeur is undeniable as sunlight streams through arched windows onto intricately carved stone pillars. This space served as a meeting place for important discussions among members of the religious community. Ricciarini's expert composition captures not only these architectural marvels but also transports us back to an era when faith and art were intertwined. Each element within this photograph tells a story about medieval life – from its golden hues reminiscent of times long gone to its silent whispers echoing centuries-old prayers. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history frozen in time, we are reminded that even within prison walls there can be beauty and solace found amidst devotion and dedication.
