EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "View of the Courtyard" by Philibert Delorme takes us back in time to the grandeur and architectural brilliance of Chateau d'Anet. The image captures a central part of the courtyard, showcasing its magnificent coat of arms, ionic columns, and stunning facade. Delorme's photograph highlights the meticulous attention to detail that went into creating this masterpiece. The correct use of three orders of Vitruvius is evident in every aspect of the design, reflecting an era where architecture was considered an art form. The intertwining letters "H" and "D" on the coat of arms symbolize Henri II and his mistress Diane de Poitiers, adding a touch of romance to this historical marvel. It is fascinating to imagine how these two figures played a significant role in shaping not only French history but also influencing architectural choices. There is speculation that this particular structure might have been a chapel from the former convent of Petits-Augustins. This adds another layer to its historical significance as it represents both religious devotion and artistic expression. Mark Fiennes has beautifully captured all these elements in his photograph, allowing us to appreciate the intricate beauty and rich history behind this architectural gem. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time, marveling at the skill and creativity that went into creating such breathtaking structures.
