EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Bellapais Abbey, a true testament to medieval architecture and Christian heritage. Located in North Cyprus, this abbey was constructed by the Premonstratensian order during the 13th century when French Crusaders known as the Lusignans ruled over Cyprus. The image beautifully captures the exterior of this Gothic-style church, surrounded by lush green lawns and vibrant plant life. As you gaze upon this remarkable piece of history frozen in time, you can't help but be transported back to an era filled with religious devotion and architectural grandeur. The remnants of this once-thriving abbey stand proudly against a backdrop of breathtaking Mediterranean nature. The Bellapais Abbey holds great significance not only for its architectural brilliance but also for its association with the Norbertine order and Christianity itself. Its ruins serve as a poignant reminder of centuries past, where faith played a central role in shaping societies. Photographer Peter Thompson has skillfully captured both the beauty and historical importance of this site through his lens. This print is more than just an image; it is a window into another era, inviting us to appreciate and reflect on our rich cultural heritage.
