EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Bob Skingle showcases the intricate beauty of a carved stone corbel found at Rievaulx Abbey in North Yorkshire. The detailed view highlights a grotesque head, revealing the remarkable craftsmanship and artistic expression of medieval sculptors. The corbel's exquisite design is a testament to the skill and creativity that flourished during this era. Every curve, every line tells a story, transporting us back in time to an age where artistry was revered and celebrated. The meticulous attention to detail is evident as we examine the delicate features etched into the stone - from furrowed brows to protruding eyes and contorted facial expressions. Rievaulx Abbey itself holds great historical significance, once serving as one of England's most prominent Cistercian monasteries. This stone corbel stands as an enduring reminder of the abbey's rich heritage and architectural grandeur. Bob Skingle's expert photography captures not only the physicality of this artefact but also its emotive power. Through his lens, we are able to appreciate both its aesthetic allure and its cultural importance within our shared history. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported into a world long gone yet forever preserved through art. It serves as a poignant reminder that even centuries later, these masterpieces continue to inspire awe and admiration for their timeless beauty.
