EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of tradition and history in the form of a painted porch. The St. Melaine church, dating back to the 15th century, stands proudly in Morlaix, Finistere, Brittany, France. Its flamboyant gothic architecture is a testament to the skill and craftsmanship of that era. The wooden door at the entrance beckons visitors into this architectural marvel steeped in heritage. The vibrant colors adorning the porch add an ornate touch to its already impressive design. Closed for now, it holds secrets from centuries past within its walls. As one gazes upon this image, they are transported to a time when Catholicism was deeply ingrained in French culture. This local landmark serves as both a place of worship and a symbol of cultural identity. The vertical composition emphasizes the grandeur of this historic building against a backdrop of serene surroundings. No people can be seen in this scene, allowing us to focus solely on appreciating its beauty and significance. Through photography like this, we are reminded that travel is not just about visiting destinations but also about immersing ourselves in their rich histories and traditions. This image encapsulates all that makes France such an enchanting country - its Roman Catholic roots, stereotypical charm, and typically French architecture. Guy Thouvenin/Robert Harding has expertly captured these elements with his lens, inviting us to explore our own connection with the past through visual storytelling.
