EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the quiet dedication of a Carthusian monk carpenter at work in the monastery of La Valsainte, Switzerland during the early 1940s. The monk, dressed in the traditional hooded habit, focuses intently on his craft as he shapes a piece of wood with meticulous care. The monastery, nestled in the picturesque Swiss Alps, is known for its tranquility and self-sufficiency, and the monks' livelihoods were centered around agriculture, forestry, and craftwork such as carpentry. The monk's workshop is filled with the scent of fresh wood and the sound of hammering, a testament to the industrious nature of monastic life. The simple tools and rough-hewn surroundings speak to the monk's commitment to living a humble and disciplined existence. The photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of these devoted men, who sought solace and spiritual growth through their labor and communal living. The Carthusian order, founded in the 11th century, is known for its emphasis on contemplative prayer and manual labor. The monks lived in individual cells, but came together for communal meals and worship. The order's rule, known as the "Carthusian Way," emphasized silence, solitude, and detachment from the world. This photograph offers a poignant reminder of the enduring spirit of monastic life and the beauty and simplicity of the Carthusian way.
