EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the early 18th century, offering a mesmerizing glimpse into the grandeur of L Abbaye de Port-Royal. Painted by Louise Madelaine Cochin, this gouache on paper artwork titled "View of the Choir" captures the essence of this Benedictine abbey located in France. As we gaze upon this image, our eyes are immediately drawn to the intricate details and architectural marvels that adorn the church's interior. The vaulting ceilings and Gothic design create an atmosphere of solemnity and reverence. It is within these hallowed walls that nuns dedicated their lives to prayer and religious devotion. The composition skillfully showcases the vastness of space within the choir, emphasizing its importance as a focal point for worship. The soft hues used in Cochin's painting evoke a sense of tranquility and serenity, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in this sacred sanctuary. L Abbaye de Port-Royal holds historical significance as one of France's most renowned religious orders during medieval times. This print serves as a testament to its enduring legacy and offers us a window into an era long gone. Displayed at Château de Versailles today, this artwork reminds us not only of its artistic value but also pays homage to those who devoted their lives to faith within these ancient walls.
