1855 Altar Carved Carving Eglise Madeleine Rood Screen Screens Troyes Jube
EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the intricately carved Rood Screen of the Eglise de la Madeleine in Troyes, France, dating back to 1855. The Rood Screen, also known as a jube or chancel screen, is a decorative partition that separates the nave from the chancel in a Christian church. This particular screen is a testament to the rich history and artistic craftsmanship of the Middle Ages in France. The Eglise de la Madeleine, located in the heart of Troyes, is a beautiful Gothic-style church that dates back to the 13th century. The Rood Screen, however, is a later addition, created in the 16th century during the Renaissance period. The screen is adorned with intricate carvings of biblical scenes, religious symbols, and geometric patterns, all executed with remarkable skill and detail. The central figure of the screen is the crucified Christ, or rood, which gives the screen its name. The rood is surrounded by the twelve apostles, each depicted in individual niches. The intricate carvings on the screen are believed to have been inspired by Flemish and Italian Renaissance art, reflecting the cultural exchange that was taking place during this period. The Rood Screen of the Eglise de la Madeleine is not only a significant historical artifact but also a stunning work of art that continues to captivate visitors to this day. The photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship of this magnificent screen and the role it plays in the rich history of Troyes and French church architecture.
