EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Abbey of Fontenay, specifically highlighting its forge. The Romanesque architecture of this 12th-century Cistercian abbey in Montbard, Burgundy, France is truly a sight to behold. Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site, the Abbey of Fontenay holds great historical and cultural significance. The image transports us back in time to an era when craftsmanship and religious devotion were intertwined. The forge depicted here was once bustling with activity as skilled craftsmen worked diligently to create intricate metalwork for the abbey's construction and maintenance. This external view allows us to appreciate the grandeur of the building while also shedding light on the importance of practical skills within religious orders during the medieval period. The composition expertly captures both the architectural beauty of the abbey and hints at its spiritual purpose. The play between light and shadow adds depth to every detail, emphasizing not only the physical structure but also evoking a sense of reverence that one might feel when visiting such a sacred place. As we gaze upon this photograph by Frank Buffetrille, we are reminded of how art can transport us through time and space, allowing us to connect with history in ways that words alone cannot convey. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity, faith, and our enduring fascination with capturing moments frozen in time through photography.
