EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the interior of the former abbey church, Abbatiale Saint-Volusien de Foix. Stepping into this sacred space feels like stepping back in time to the 17th century, with its exquisite choir seating that dates back to around 1670. Originally from the Saint-Sernin church in Toulouse, these beautifully crafted seats now find their home in Foix, Occitanie, France. The image captures the intricate details of this historical masterpiece. The fine artistry and craftsmanship are evident in every aspect of the wooden seating arrangement. Each timber is meticulously carved and assembled to create an awe-inspiring piece of furniture that stands as a testament to the skill and dedication of French artisans from centuries past. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported into a world where art and religion intertwine harmoniously. The atmosphere within this building's interior is serene and contemplative; it invites us to reflect on our own spirituality while appreciating the beauty surrounding us. The presence of sculptures adds another layer of artistic expression to this already remarkable scene. Grotesque figures adorn certain sections, adding a touch of whimsy amidst the solemnity. These grotesques serve as reminders that even within religious spaces, there is room for creativity and imagination. This print serves as a window into history—a glimpse into a bygone era when churches were not only places for worship but also centers for artistic brilliance. It reminds us that art has always played an integral role in shaping our cultural heritage. © Paul Maeyaert has expertly captured this extraordinary moment frozen in time, allowing viewers to appreciate both his photographic talent and the enduring beauty found within these walls.
