EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the stunning interior view of the choir in Beauvais Cathedral, France. The photograph, taken by French School in the 13th century, showcases the remarkable Gothic French architecture that was rebuilt after the original choir collapsed in 1284. The image highlights the intricate details of this architectural masterpiece. The vaulted ceilings with their elegant vaulting create a sense of grandeur and height within the space. The east end is adorned with a beautiful lancet window, allowing soft rays of light to filter through and illuminate the area. The pointed arches throughout add to the overall aesthetic appeal while providing structural support. Atop an elevated platform stands an ornate altar, serving as a focal point for religious ceremonies and worship. The clerestory windows along both sides of the choir allow natural light to flood into this sacred space, creating an ethereal ambiance. Each window is delicately designed with intricate tracery patterns that add to its visual allure. As one's gaze wanders through this magnificent scene, it becomes evident why Beauvais Cathedral is renowned for its exceptional beauty and architectural prowess. This print by Paul Maeyaert perfectly encapsulates all these elements, inviting viewers to appreciate and marvel at this timeless work of art from centuries past.
