Joseph Cundall, a talented creator and artist of the 19th century, captured the beauty and grandeur of various historical sites through his remarkable works. In "The Alms House, " he transports us to a bygone era, showcasing the architectural marvels that stood as symbols of charity and compassion. Moving on to "Kirkstall Abbey, " we are treated to a mesmerizing view from the west, where time seems suspended in its ancient walls. The intricately designed doorway on the north side beckons us into another world. Cundall's exploration continues with "Fountains Abbey, " where he skillfully portrays the church, cloister, and hospitium in all their glory. His attention to detail is evident as we step into "Easby Abbey" and find ourselves immersed in the serene atmosphere of its refectory. With each stroke of his brush or pen, Cundall brings history alive before our eyes. In "Rievaulx Abbey, " he invites us through an exquisite doorway into the heart of this sacred place. As we gaze upon "Fountains Abbey's" general western front, it becomes clear why these ruins continue to captivate visitors today. But Cundall doesn't limit himself to capturing only architecture; he also reveals nature's wonders within these historical settings. From Fountains Abbey's enchanting Echo Rock to Rievaulx Abbey's breathtaking interior choir space - every corner holds secrets waiting for discovery. Intriguingly enough, even mundane spaces like kitchens come alive under Cundall's skilled hand. He unveils hidden stories within Fountains Abbey’s refectory and kitchen while shedding light on forgotten rituals performed at The Chapel of Nine Alters' exterior. Finally, standing amidst Rivaulx Abbey’s sweeping southern view depicted by Cundall’s artistry allows one to appreciate both nature's splendor and human ingenuity simultaneously.
