EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the intricate Romanesque art adorning the eardrum of the church of Sainte Marie Madeleine in Neuilly-en-Donjon, France. Dating back to around 1140, the detailed lintel and eardrum showcase the craftsmanship and storytelling ability of artists from that time period.
In this particular piece, we see a demon on the left side whose laughter conveys a sense of triumph over man. The expressive features and dynamic composition draw viewers into a world where good and evil are constantly at odds.
The architectural details surrounding this artwork further enhance its impact, with elements typical of Romanesque style such as rounded arches and decorative carvings adding to the overall aesthetic appeal.
As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back to medieval Europe, where churches served not only as places of worship but also as repositories for some of the most exquisite artistry of their time.
