EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing gargoyle engraving from the 19th century. The intricate details of this winged creature are beautifully captured, highlighting its mythical presence. With its wings spread wide, the gargoyle exudes an air of mystery and power. Originally featured in "Le Moyen Age et la Renaissance" by Paul Lacroix and Ferdinand Sere, this illustration transports us back to a time when legends and myths were woven into everyday life. It serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural significance that these creatures held during the medieval period. The gargoyle's presence on European architecture symbolized more than just decorative art; it was believed to ward off evil spirits and protect buildings from harm. This engraving pays homage to those beliefs, showcasing the deep-rooted religious practices prevalent during that era. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we can't help but be transported to a world where paganism coexisted with religion, where mythological creatures roamed freely in people's imaginations. It is a testament to our fascination with ancient tales and our desire to understand our past. Bridgeman Images has flawlessly preserved this historical artwork for us all to appreciate today. Through their meticulous attention to detail, they have allowed us access into a bygone era filled with wonderment and enchantment.
