EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the serene beauty of the Abbey of Fontenay in Burgundy, France. The image showcases a building that leads to the chapter house, nestled within the peaceful cloister of this Romanesque masterpiece. Dating back to the 12th century, Fontenay Abbey is a UNESCO World Heritage site and holds great historical significance. The abbey was built by Cistercian monks who sought solitude and spiritual reflection in their daily lives. The photo provides a glimpse into the architectural brilliance of this religious sanctuary. The stone walls exude an aura of tranquility as they stand tall against time's passage. Every detail, from arches to windows, reflects the skillful craftsmanship prevalent during medieval times. As we explore further, we notice additional structures such as "l'enfermerie" (infirmary) and dormitory buildings adjacent to this pathway leading to the chapter house. These elements give us insight into how monastic life was organized within these sacred grounds. Frank Buffetrille's expert photography beautifully captures not only the physical aspects but also evokes a sense of spirituality that permeates throughout Fontenay Abbey. It serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and invites us to appreciate both its artistic value and its place in Christian history. This print is not just an image frozen in time; it is an invitation for contemplation and reverence towards centuries-old architecture that continues to inspire awe today.
