EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning oil painting captures the breathtaking view of The Bridge at Cahors, a medieval masterpiece situated in the heart of southern France. Built during the 14th century, the Pont Valentre bridge stands proudly over the Lot river, its three towers reaching for the sky. Originally constructed as a defensive structure during the Franco-English Hundred Year War, the bridge has withstood the test of time and continues to be a symbol of historical significance. The painting, created circa 1922, offers a vibrant and colorful depiction of the bridge, with the towers and surrounding landscape expertly rendered in rich oil hues. The tranquil waters of the Lot river reflect the bridge's towering arches and the gentle ripples add a sense of motion to the otherwise still scene. This beautiful work of art was featured in a December 1922-January 1923 issue of a popular magazine, Volume 17, and was produced by the talented artist Ethel Quixano Henriques. The painting provides a captivating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of medieval grandeur and historical importance. The Bridge at Cahors remains a popular tourist destination and continues to draw visitors from around the world who are captivated by its unique beauty and historical significance. This painting serves as a testament to the enduring allure of this iconic structure and the rich history of the region.
