EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a column capital adorned with symmetrically arranged grotesques, dating back to the early 12th century. The stone carving is attributed to the French School and can be found in the Abbaye aux Dames (La Trinite) in Caen, France. Peter Willi expertly captures this architectural detail, highlighting its intricate relief work. The column capital features a variety of fascinating elements including a tongue-like protrusion, griffin motifs, dog tooth patterns, and zig-zag designs. These decorative details add depth and texture to the piece while showcasing the Gothic style prevalent during that era. The inclusion of mythical creatures such as griffins adds an element of fantasy to this Norman masterpiece. Each grotesque seems to come alive through Willi's lens, inviting viewers into a world where art meets imagination. This photograph not only serves as a testament to the skillful craftsmanship of medieval artisans but also celebrates the enduring beauty of architectural art. It reminds us of our rich cultural heritage and invites us to appreciate these remarkable creations that have stood the test of time.
