EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the central portal of the west facade at the Abbey of Saint Gilles in Gard, France. Dating back to the 12th century, this Romanesque masterpiece titled "St John and St Peter" is a true testament to the holy art and architecture of that era. The intricate carvings on this French door depict biblical figures such as Saint John and Saint Peter, evoking a sense of religious devotion. The attention to detail in every element is awe-inspiring, from the delicate facial expressions to the flowing robes that drape gracefully around these apostles. Luisa Ricciarini's photography skillfully captures not only the beauty but also the spiritual essence emanating from this ancient structure. The play of light and shadow adds depth and dimension to each carving, bringing them to life within their stone surroundings. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to an age where faith was intricately woven into every aspect of life. It serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and invites us to contemplate our own beliefs. Whether you appreciate art, history or religion, this photograph speaks volumes about its subject matter – it tells a story frozen in time for all eternity.
