EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Romanesque sculpture of "The Ascension" on the south portal of Basilica St. Sernin in Toulouse, France. Taken by photographer Luisa Ricciarini, this image transports viewers back to the 12th century, immersing them in the beauty and artistry of medieval times. The intricate carving depicts Jesus Christ ascending into heaven, surrounded by a celestial aura. The attention to detail is remarkable, with every fold of his robes and expression on his face expertly captured. This piece exemplifies the mastery of Romanesque art and its ability to convey religious narratives through stone. Ricciarini's choice to capture this scene from the perspective of an observer standing at the earthen entrance adds depth and dimension to the photograph. It allows us to experience what it might have been like for worshippers entering this grand basilica centuries ago. As we gaze upon this stunning work, we are reminded not only of its artistic significance but also its historical importance. The Basilica St. Sernin stands as a testament to faith and devotion throughout time. Luisa Ricciarini's skillful photography brings forth a sense of reverence that resonates with viewers today, reminding us that great works endure beyond their creation and continue to inspire generations long after they were first conceived.
