EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enchanting city and village of Carcassonne in 1462. Created with pen and ink on paper by an anonymous French artist from the 15th century, this artwork is now housed in the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France. The image showcases a panoramic view of Carcassonne, highlighting its impressive citadel and fortress walls. The river Aude gracefully winds through the landscape, adding to the picturesque charm of this medieval town. The meticulously drawn details depict every aspect of Carcassonne's architecture, including towers, battlements, bridges, and even a church steeple. This topographical drawing serves as both a study and sketch of Carcassonne's layout during that era. It offers us a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the historical significance of this fortified city. As we admire this scene frozen in time, it becomes evident why Carcassonne continues to be a popular tourist destination today. Its well-preserved medieval charm transports visitors back centuries ago when knights roamed these streets. With its rich history and architectural beauty captured so delicately by this French School artist from long ago, this print reminds us of our connection to our cultural heritage while inspiring wanderlust for exploration beyond what meets the eye.
