EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to France in the 1930s, specifically to Orthez on the Gave de Pau in the Basses Pyrenees. Once a vibrant and lively city, Orthez now stands as a modest town with only remnants of its glorious past. The image showcases a medieval bridge that has managed to withstand the test of time, serving as a poignant reminder of the grandeur it once witnessed. In this very spot, Gaston Phoebus held his splendid court painted by Froissart centuries ago. As we gaze upon this scene, we can almost imagine the hustle and bustle of daily life during that era. The reflection on the calm waters of the river adds an ethereal touch to this picturesque setting. The print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to France's rich history and cultural heritage. It transports us back to an age when chivalry reigned supreme and knights roamed these lands. Published in Geographical Magazine Volume 3, this image is part of an extensive collection curated by The Print Collector. It offers us a glimpse into Europe's past while showcasing its enduring beauty. Let yourself be transported through time as you explore this stunning landscape from Nouvelle Aquitaine, where nature intertwines harmoniously with human history.
