EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1910, showcases the intricately carved and ornate Rood screen in the Church of St Pierre (St Peter) in Louvain, Belgium. Dating back to the 16th century, this magnificent piece of medieval architecture is a testament to the rich artistic and cultural heritage of the region. The Rood screen, also known as a rood loft or rood loft screen, is a traditional feature found in many European churches, serving as a backdrop for the crucifixion scene. In this image, the screen is adorned with intricate stone carvings, including elaborate arches, graceful columns, and intriguing niches. The central focus is the altar, with its ornate archway and intricately carved niche housing the crucifix. The Rood screen in the Church of St Pierre is a stunning example of Gothic architecture, with its pointed arches, ornate carvings, and attention to detail. The use of stone adds to the solidity and grandeur of the structure, while the delicate carvings add a sense of elegance and refinement. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when such intricate and ornate designs were commonplace in European churches. The Rood screen in the Church of St Pierre is not only a beautiful work of art but also a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of Belgium.
