EDITORS COMMENTS
Visiting the Tomb of Heloise and Abelard: A Romantic Pilgrimage". In this photo print, we are transported to the Pere Lachaise cemetery in Paris. The image depicts a male and female couple, deeply immersed in their visit to the tomb of Heloise and Abelard. As they stand before the funerary sculpture, their presence exudes an air of reverence and contemplation. The engraving, created by Jean Francois Gigoux after John Quartley's work in 1839, beautifully captures the essence of this medieval love affair. Heloise (1101-64), a former nun turned abbess, is forever intertwined with Pierre Abelard (1079-1142), a renowned scholar and theologian. Their story has become legendary for its tragic yet passionate nature. Surrounded by gothic revival architecture, including statues, columns, and intricate capitals adorned with wreaths, our pilgrims find solace amidst this picturesque setting. They don fashionable attire that reflects the fashion trends of their time while paying homage to these historical figures. This print not only serves as a visual representation but also evokes emotions associated with love lost too soon. It invites us to meditate on themes such as devotion, intellectual pursuit, and human connection across centuries. As we gaze upon this enchanting scene captured by Gigoux's lens at Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris today; it reminds us that true love transcends time itself.
