EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of the Right bay of the Royal Portal, a masterpiece from the mid-12th century. Created by the French School in Chartres Cathedral, France, this stone carving is a true testament to 12th-century French architecture. The image captures a figure carved into the west facade's jamb figures, depicting a tender moment between Madonna and Child. The intricate relief work brings out every delicate detail of their expressions and garments. The figures are surrounded by an arch adorned with grammatica and musica motifs, showcasing the artistic prowess of this era. The exterior porch serves as a canvas for this stunning carving, adding depth and dimension to its overall impact. Every element - from the frieze to archivolt - contributes to creating an awe-inspiring visual experience. This photograph not only highlights the beauty of this historical artwork but also pays homage to its cultural significance. It invites viewers to appreciate both the technical skill involved in sculpting such intricate details on stone as well as its symbolic representation within religious art. As we gaze upon this timeless piece captured in monochrome tones, it transports us back centuries ago when artisans dedicated themselves to creating enduring masterpieces that continue to inspire awe today.
