EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the enchanting city of Lyon, France. The image showcases the magnificent Front of the Church of Saint Jean, a true testament to Late Gothic architecture that has withstood the test of time. The church stands proudly amidst its urban surroundings, emanating an aura of grandeur and spirituality. Its intricate furnishings for civic spaces are meticulously crafted, reflecting the artistic mastery prevalent during the Middle Ages in Europe. The building elements exude a sense of elegance and strength, with arches and spires reaching towards the heavens. At its heart lies a mesmerizing rose window, adorned with delicate tracery that allows ethereal light to filter through into this sacred space. The portal beckons visitors inside with its ornate decoration and sections that speak volumes about the rich history embedded within these walls. As we gaze upon this photograph captured between 1890-1910 by P. Z. , we cannot help but be transported back even further in time - to XII-XV century Lyon when this architectural marvel was first constructed. It serves as a reminder of our connection to past civilizations and their devotion to faith. The church's presence dominates the square or piazza it resides in, commanding attention from all who pass by on roads or avenues nearby. This place is not just another structure; it is a symbol of Christian religious heritage deeply ingrained within Lyon's cultural fabric. Thanks to Alinari's preservation efforts through photography, we can admire this stunning piece of history today. Let us cherish such glimpses into our shared human story while pondering how these ancient structures continue to inspire awe across generations.
