EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning stained glass window from the 12th century, located in Obazine Abbey, Aubazine. The intricate craftsmanship and vibrant colors of this masterpiece are truly awe-inspiring. Obazine Abbey holds great historical significance as a Cistercian monastery founded by Saint Stephen of Obazine around 1134. Despite facing confiscation during the French Revolution, the structure of the abbey church miraculously survived and has since been restored to serve as the parish church of Aubazines. Interestingly, it is worth noting that Coco Chanel, the renowned fashion icon, spent part of her childhood at Aubazine abbey orphanage in Correze in 1895 when she was just twelve years old. It is said that the intertwining letters "C" on the abbey's stained-glass windows inspired Chanel's iconic logo. The Romanesque architecture and ethereal beauty captured within this image transport viewers back to a time steeped in history and spirituality. As we gaze upon this photograph, we can't help but marvel at how artistry transcends time and connects us with our past. This print serves as a testament to France's rich cultural heritage while also highlighting its architectural wonders. It invites us to appreciate not only the skillful craftsmanship behind such masterpieces but also their enduring legacy that continues to captivate audiences today.
