EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures "The Council" a 12th-century sculpture by Romanesque, located in the Basilica of Sainte-Marie-Madeleine in Vezelay, France. The image showcases the intricate details of this carved marquee, which has stood the test of time within the church's walls. As you gaze upon this artwork, you can't help but be transported back to medieval Burgundy. The sculpture depicts several individuals engaged in deep thought and reflection, symbolizing their involvement in an important council meeting. Each figure exudes a sense of masculinity and virility, emphasizing their role as leaders within the Christian community. The photograph not only highlights the artistic beauty of this piece but also serves as a window into history and communication during that era. It reminds us of how religion played a significant role in shaping European society at that time. Pascal Lemaitre's skillful capture allows us to appreciate every intricate detail on display here – from the expressions on each person's face to their body language conveying intense contemplation. This print is truly an exquisite representation of 12th-century architecture and art.
