EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable detail of the fortified enclosure in Narbonne, France. Built in the 16th century using remnants of Roman monuments, this architectural marvel is a testament to the city's rich history and cultural heritage. The reuse of antique carved blocks has transformed Narbonne's ramparts into an open-air museum, as described by Prosper Merimee, a renowned writer, archaeologist, and inspector general of historical monuments. The image captures the intricate craftsmanship and grandeur of this ancient structure. Every stone tells a story from antiquity, transporting viewers back to the time when Narbonne was part of the mighty Roman Empire. The bas-reliefs and sculptures adorning these walls are testaments to human creativity throughout history. As we gaze upon this photograph, we can't help but be awestruck by the sheer magnitude and beauty of these fortifications. They stand tall against time itself, reminding us that even centuries later, their significance remains intact. This print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a historical artifact. It invites us to appreciate not only its architectural splendor but also reflects on our own place within the continuum of human civilization. Through this lens into Narbonne's past glory, we gain insight into how our present is shaped by those who came before us. © Patrice Cartier
