EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the intricate details of the "Tent of Sleep of the Magi" sculpture, created by Gislebertus in 1120. Housed in the Cathedral Museum of St. Lazare in Autun, Burgundy, France, this masterpiece is a true treasure from the 12th century. The image showcases an angelic figure delicately hovering above three kings who are peacefully asleep inside a tent. The craftsmanship is remarkable, with every fold and contour expertly carved to create a lifelike representation. A crown adorns each king's head, symbolizing their regal status as biblical magi or wise men. Surrounded by stars that evoke an astronomical ambiance, this biblical scene depicts the adoration of the magi during the nativity story. It beautifully encapsulates both religious and artistic elements that were prevalent during medieval times. Photographer Pascal Lemaitre skillfully captures this historical artifact with precision and clarity. Through his lens, we can appreciate not only Gislebertus' artistry but also marvel at how it has stood the test of time. This photograph serves as a testament to Europe's rich cultural heritage and offers us a glimpse into an era long gone yet forever preserved through art.
