EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of the central bay of the royal portal west facade at Cathedrale de Chartres in France. The focus is on the eardrum, where a mesmerizing depiction of Christ in his glory surrounded by the tetramorph can be seen. Created by an unknown French artist from the 13th century, this artwork beautifully captures both religious and artistic symbolism. The image portrays Christ as a majestic figure, radiating divine light and power. He is encircled by four winged creatures known as tetramorphs, representing different aspects of creation: an angel symbolizing Matthew, a lion for Mark, an ox for Luke, and an eagle for John – together forming what are often referred to as "the animals wings of the apocalypse". This composition conveys a sense of awe-inspiring spirituality that has captivated viewers throughout history. Chartres Cathedral itself is renowned for its stunning Gothic architecture and rich cultural heritage. This photograph allows us to appreciate not only its grandeur but also highlights one specific detail that exemplifies the craftsmanship and devotion put into every aspect of this iconic structure. Preserved through time, this remarkable piece serves as a testament to human creativity and faith. It invites us to contemplate our place within a greater cosmic order while marveling at the skillful artistry that has endured centuries.
