EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the breathtaking beauty of the Abbey of Fontenay, located in Montbard, Burgundy, France. The focus is on the east side of the abbey, specifically highlighting the dormitory building along with its common room and chapter room. Dating back to the 12th century, this Romanesque architectural masterpiece stands as a testament to centuries-old craftsmanship and religious devotion. Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site, it holds immense historical significance. The upper level showcases the dormitory where monks once sought rest and contemplation after their daily spiritual duties. Meanwhile, on the lower level lies both the common room for communal activities and discussions among brothers and the chapter room where important decisions were made within this Cistercian abbey. The image transports us back in time to an era characterized by simplicity yet grandeur. It evokes a sense of tranquility that permeates through every stone wall and archway present in this medieval marvel. As we gaze upon this photograph taken by Frank Buffetrille, we are reminded not only of our rich cultural heritage but also of humanity's enduring quest for spiritual enlightenment. This visual representation invites us to appreciate not just art or architecture but also religion's profound influence on shaping societies throughout history. In summary, this print encapsulates an extraordinary piece of European history - an architectural gem nestled amidst picturesque surroundings - inviting viewers to immerse themselves in its timeless allure.
