EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Church of Saint-Honoratus at Les Alyscamps in Arles, France. The Romanesque architecture of this 12th-century church is beautifully captured, highlighting its historical significance and grandeur. The name "Les Alyscamps" is derived from the corruption of Elysian Fields, adding an intriguing element to this already mesmerizing image. As we gaze upon the photograph, we are transported back in time to a large Roman necropolis that once stood here. The church's stone exterior stands as a testament to its enduring presence throughout centuries. Its octagonal steeple rises proudly above the ruins surrounding it, creating a striking contrast between past and present. Within the frame lies not only the church but also a burial ground filled with tombs and sarcophagi. This funerary setting serves as a reminder of Saint Honoratus' legacy as bishop of Arles during his lifetime from 350-426 AD. As our eyes wander through this scene, we can't help but feel drawn into the history that permeates every inch of this sacred space. The atmosphere exudes both tranquility and reverence for those who rest eternally within these hallowed grounds. This remarkable print by Bridgeman Images captures not just an architectural marvel but also invites us to reflect on life's fleeting nature and contemplate our own place in history's tapestry.
