EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the serene beauty of the Abbey of Fontenay, located in Montbard, Burgundy, France. The view from the garden showcases two remarkable structures - the Seguin gallery and the enfermerie - both dating back to different centuries. The Seguin gallery, built in the 18th century, stands tall with its elegant architecture. Its grandeur is complemented by the tranquil surroundings of lush greenery and vibrant flowers that adorn the garden. As you gaze upon this scene, a sense of peace washes over you. In contrast to the Seguin gallery's more recent construction, we see the enfermerie from the 16th century. This building holds a rich history within its walls as it served as an infirmary for monks during medieval times. The simplicity and modesty of its design reflect Cistercian ideals. Fontenay Abbey itself dates back to the 12th century and has been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site. It represents an important part of Christian religious history in Europe and continues to be revered for its Romanesque architecture. Through this photograph by Frank Buffetrille, we are transported back in time to experience not only architectural marvels but also a glimpse into monastic life during medieval times. The abbey's external view reveals a peaceful cloister surrounded by natural beauty – truly capturing Bourgogne Franche Comte's charm and spiritual significance.
