EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the majestic Palais des Papes, also known as the Palace of the Popes, located in Avignon, France. The image showcases the Palais Vieux of Pope Benedict XII (d. 1342) along with the impressive Tower of Campane, both constructed during the years 1338-40. The fortress-like appearance of this architectural marvel is evident through its castellated battlements that exude a sense of strength and grandeur. Standing tall against a cloudy sky, this medieval tower takes us on a journey through history. Originally built by Jacques Fournier, who later became Pope Benedict XII, this palace served as his residence during his papacy from 1334 to 1342. Its machicolated design adds an element of defensive functionality while maintaining its aesthetic appeal. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of architecture frozen in time, we can't help but be captivated by its intricate details and historical significance. This photograph allows us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the military importance that once surrounded these walls. With every glance at this stunning image captured by Bridgeman Images from Fine Art Finder's collection, we are reminded of Avignon's rich cultural heritage and its role as a significant center for papal power during medieval times.
