EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to a bustling construction site in 15th century France. The unknown artist skillfully captures the essence of this era, showcasing the dedication and craftsmanship of the workers involved. In the foreground, we see a group of skilled artisans engrossed in their work. Stone cutters meticulously shape blocks of stone, while craftsmen laboriously construct intricate details. Their focused expressions reveal their commitment to perfection and pride in their craft. Amidst this scene, an intriguing element catches our attention - a depiction of both God and devil overseeing the construction process. This juxtaposition symbolizes the belief prevalent during that period that divine intervention was necessary for successful completion of such monumental projects. The composition also highlights human companionship amidst hard labor. Workers are seen collaborating closely, sharing techniques and supporting each other through challenging tasks. This camaraderie is evident as they exchange smiles and engage in lively conversations during brief moments of respite. Leonard de Selva's masterful photography brings this historical moment to life with remarkable clarity and detail. Through his lens, we gain insight into not only the physical aspects but also the spirit behind medieval construction sites. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image, we are transported back centuries ago when French craftsmen dedicated themselves to building magnificent structures that still stand today as testaments to their artistry and perseverance.
