EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the 15th century, specifically to the Cathedral of Rouen. The image showcases a beautifully carved wood relief that once adorned the choir stalls of this historic cathedral. The bas-relief depicts a domestic scene, offering us a glimpse into the lives of people from centuries ago. In this particular scene, we see a couple engaged in conversation or perhaps sharing a moment of tenderness. The man and woman are dressed in medieval attire, their clothing reflecting the fashion trends of that era. Notably, attention is drawn to their footwear - clogs or pattens - which were commonly worn during this period. These wooden shoes provided protection against muddy streets and uneven surfaces. The intricate details captured by Paul Lacroix's wood engraving highlight not only the skillful craftsmanship but also the religious significance associated with such artwork. This piece would have served as an expression of Christian devotion within the cathedral walls. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are transported back to an age where art was intricately intertwined with religion and daily life. It serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and offers us an opportunity to appreciate the artistic achievements of our ancestors.
