EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a poignant moment in history, showcasing "The Exiled French Monastic Orders, Scenes in a Benedictine Cloister". Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, this print is now part of a private collection. The image was originally published as an illustration for The Illustrated London News on October 5th, 1901. In this scene, we are transported to a Benedictine cloister where exiled French monks gather. The monastic orders were forced to flee their homeland due to political unrest or religious persecution. Within the walls of the cloister, we witness various intimate moments: monks engaged in prayerful service within the refectory and choir; others deep in contemplation inside their cells or discussing matters of importance during chapter meetings. The composition beautifully captures both the serenity and solemnity that permeate these sacred spaces. Every corner reveals traces of devotion and dedication to faith. Through this photograph's lens, we gain insight into the lives led by these exiled French monastic orders - lives filled with quiet reflection and unwavering commitment. As we gaze upon this remarkable image from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, it serves as a reminder of the enduring power of places of worship and how they can provide solace even amidst displacement and adversity.
