EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Head of King of Judah, a remarkable piece from the Cathedrale Notre Dame de Paris. Created by an unknown artist in the 13th century, this wooden carving exemplifies the Gothic style prevalent during that era. Currently housed in the National Museum of the Middle Ages, Thermes de Cluny in Paris, it is a testament to France's rich cultural heritage. Despite its age and evident damage, this intricately carved head still exudes an air of regality and power. The severed state adds a sense of mystery and intrigue to its story, leaving viewers curious about its origins and journey through time. The Head of King of Judah holds significant biblical symbolism as it represents one of the kings from ancient Judea. Its presence within such a grand cathedral like Notre Dame speaks volumes about religion's influence on medieval art and architecture. Photographed by Josse with great attention to detail, this image captures every intricate line and curve etched into the wood. It serves as both a historical artifact and a work of art worth admiring for generations to come. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back centuries ago when skilled craftsmen dedicated their talents to creating masterpieces like these – reminders not only of our shared human history but also our capacity for artistic expression.
