EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the haunting beauty of the Chapel of Bones, located within the Royal Church of St Francis in Evora, Portugal. The chapel, dating back to the 16th century, is a powerful reminder of mortality and faith. The walls and pillars of the chapel are lined with human bones and skulls, creating a macabre yet mesmerizing display that serves as a meditation on life and death. Despite its somber subject matter, there is an undeniable sense of peace and spirituality that emanates from this sacred space. The intricate architecture of the chapel adds to its allure, with ornate details that speak to centuries of religious devotion. The play of light and shadow in this photograph highlights the textures and colors of the bone-filled interior, creating a visually striking composition. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this historic monument holds immense cultural significance for Portugal and Europe as a whole. It stands as a testament to both the artistic achievements of past generations and the enduring power of faith in shaping our world. Through this image by Pascal Deloche, we are invited to contemplate our own mortality while marveling at the artistry and craftsmanship that went into creating such a unique place of worship.
