EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a serene moment in the cloisters of the monastery of San Francesco in Ragusa, now known as Dubrovnik, Croatia. In this historical setting, one monk is engrossed in reading while another monk draws water from the well. The peaceful atmosphere of the cloister is palpable, with its ancient stone walls and lush greenery providing a tranquil backdrop for these monks to go about their daily activities.
The image offers a glimpse into monastic life in 1925, showcasing the simplicity and devotion that characterized the lives of these religious individuals. The contrast between the monk absorbed in his book and the other drawing water highlights the balance between contemplation and practical tasks that were integral to monastic existence.
As we gaze upon this scene captured by Mary Evans Picture Library, we are transported back in time to a place where faith and tradition intersected with everyday routines. The rich history of Dubrovnik as a center of religion and culture is evident in every detail of this photograph - from the architecture of the cloisters to the humble gestures of these monks.
In essence, this print serves as a poignant reminder of a bygone era when life was simpler yet filled with profound meaning and purpose. It invites us to reflect on our own beliefs and values while marveling at the timeless beauty preserved within these cloister walls.
