EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the South Portal tympanum of Chartres Cathedral in France, depicting a magnificent portrayal of Christ Enthroned. Created by the French School in the 12th century, this stone relief is a true masterpiece of Gothic art and architecture. At the center of attention is Christ, seated on his majestic throne with an aura of divine authority. His serene expression exudes wisdom and compassion, while his outstretched arms symbolize his eternal embrace for humanity. The intricate details carved into the stone bring life to every fold in his robe and every strand of hair on his head. What makes this artwork even more intriguing is the presence of a Beau Christ figure on the trumeau below. This additional representation adds depth to the composition, emphasizing different aspects of Christ's divinity and human nature. The surrounding architectural elements further enhance this visual spectacle. Lintels adorned with angelic figures frame both sides, their delicate wings adding gracefulness to an already ethereal scene. Every inch of this piece exudes grandeur and devotion. Thanks to Peter Willi's skillful photography, we can now admire this remarkable work from afar. It serves as a testament to mankind's ability to create awe-inspiring art that transcends time and connects us with our spiritual roots.
