EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the magnificent entrance porch of the Cistercian Abbey, a testament to the architectural brilliance of the 12th century French School. Built between 1140 and 1160, this awe-inspiring structure stands proudly in Pontigny, Sens, France. The photograph showcases the abbey's grandeur and intricate details in stunning clarity. The Burgundian Gothic style is evident in its soaring arches, delicate tracery work, and ornate carvings that adorn every surface. The play of light and shadow adds depth to the image, emphasizing the craftsmanship that went into creating this masterpiece. As one gazes upon this image, it is impossible not to be transported back in time. The abbey's rich history comes alive through its weathered stone walls and ancient wooden doors. This sacred place has witnessed centuries of prayers, contemplation, and spiritual devotion. Founded in 1114 as one of the daughters of Citeaux - a significant Cistercian order - this abbey holds immense cultural significance for France. Its enduring beauty serves as a reminder of human ingenuity and dedication to artistry throughout history. This print allows us to appreciate not only the physical structure but also its symbolic importance within religious architecture.
