EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Gargoyles in the Cloister" takes us on a journey through time, back to the 16th century in Lisbon, Portugal. The Portuguese School has beautifully captured the essence of medieval architecture with their intricate and ornate sculptures. The image transports us to Mosteiro dos Jeronimos, a magnificent monastery known for its Manueline Gothic style. The attention to detail is astounding as we witness these Atlantic-style gargoyles perched atop the cloister walls. Each gargoyle seems to come alive with its unique animal-like features and grotesque expressions. As we delve into this masterpiece, it becomes clear that these gargoyles serve more than just decorative purposes. They were believed to ward off evil spirits and protect the sacred space within the monastery's walls. The photograph allows us to appreciate not only the craftsmanship but also gives insight into the historical significance of this period. It was during Manuel I's reign from 1490-1520 when such architectural marvels flourished under his patronage. Ken Welsh's expertly captured print brings forth every minute detail of these mesmerizing gargoyles, allowing viewers to admire them as if they were standing right there in front of them. This artwork serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and invites us to explore further into Portugal's fascinating history.
