EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of history within the Abbey of Fontenay. The room inside the forge, dating back to the 12th century, stands as a testament to Romanesque architecture in all its glory. Located in Montbard, Burgundy, France, this Cistercian abbey holds immense cultural significance as a UNESCO World Heritage site. The image showcases the craftsmanship and dedication of medieval artisans who once worked tirelessly within these walls. A column stands tall at the center of the room, symbolizing strength and resilience. The forge itself is reminiscent of an era long gone by - a place where foundrymen honed their skills and brought metal to life. As we gaze upon this print by Frank Buffetrille, we are transported back in time to an age when religion played a central role in society. Christianity permeates every inch of this sacred space; it is palpable in every stone laid with care. The intricate details on both the ceiling and interior add depth and character to this remarkable piece of artistry. It serves as a reminder that even amidst chaos and uncertainty, beauty can be found within these hallowed halls. Let us cherish this visual representation of our rich European heritage - an architectural marvel that continues to inspire awe centuries later.
