EDITORS COMMENTS
[South Portal, Chartres Cathedral], 1854. A captivating print by Charles Marville showcasing the mesmerizing beauty of Chartres Cathedral's South Portal. This stunning photograph, captured in the 19th century, transports us back to a time when artistry and craftsmanship flourished. The image captures the essence of this iconic cathedral, located in Eure-et-Loir, Centre France. The intricate details of the doorways and sculptures are brought to life through Marville's lens. The play between light and shadow adds depth and contrast to the composition, highlighting every delicate curve and crevice. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of its historical significance as a symbol of Christianity. The statues adorning the portal stand tall with religious devotion while lamps cast an ethereal glow on their faces. Marville's salted paper print technique enhances the medieval charm of this architectural masterpiece. It is no wonder that his work has found a home at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in Paris. This photograph serves as a testament to Marville's talent as well as his dedication to preserving heritage art through photography. Through his lens, he invites us into a world where past meets present – where centuries-old cathedrals continue to inspire awe.
