EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the middle door of the iconic Cathedral of Notre-Dame in Paris. The intricate detail of the left splay is highlighted, featuring a remarkable statue of the Apostles, which was crafted by Viollet Le Duc. This work by Eugne-Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc perfectly captures the essence of Gothic art and architecture during the Middle Ages in Europe. The high relief sculpture on this door is truly awe-inspiring. Each Apostle is meticulously carved, showcasing their unique personalities and expressions. Their flowing garments reflect the fashion and clothing style prevalent during that era, transporting us back to medieval times. This photograph was taken around 1905, providing us with a glimpse into history over a century ago. However, it also reminds us that this masterpiece has stood tall for centuries before that - its creation dating back to between 1220 and 1250. The symbolism behind these statues goes beyond mere representation; they embody abstract concepts from religious texts such as angels and apostles found in the Bible's New Testament. As we admire this artwork through Alinari's lens, we are reminded of how deeply rooted religion was in society during those times. Notre-Dame Cathedral itself holds immense cultural significance not just for France but for all humanity. It stands as an enduring symbol of architectural brilliance and spiritual devotion throughout the first and second millenniums A. D. Alinari's photograph allows us to appreciate every intricate detail captured within this image while reminding us of our connection to history and our shared human heritage.
