EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable beauty of Furness Abbey, located in Cumbria. The image captures a mesmerizing view of the five round-headed arches that gracefully line the eastern wall of the Cloister. With its medieval charm and architectural grandeur, this abbey stands as a testament to centuries of religious devotion. The intricate details within each arch are truly awe-inspiring, showcasing the skill and craftsmanship of those who built this magnificent structure. As sunlight filters through these ancient windows, it casts a soft glow upon the worn stone floors below, creating an atmosphere that is both serene and contemplative. Furness Abbey holds a significant place in history as one of England's most important monastic sites. Founded in 1123 by Stephen, Count of Boulogne, it became home to a community of monks who dedicated their lives to prayer and worship. Despite facing various challenges throughout its existence - including dissolution during Henry VIII's reign - remnants like these arches have withstood the test of time. Through Alun Bull's lens, we are transported back in time to witness this architectural marvel firsthand. This print serves as a reminder not only of our rich heritage but also invites us to reflect on the enduring power and influence religion has had on society throughout centuries past.
