EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the serene beauty of the Monastery of Our Lady of Rueda in Sastago, Spain. The Gothic architecture from the 13th century is a testament to the skill and craftsmanship of the Aragonese builders who constructed this magnificent structure for the Cistercian Order.
The image focuses on the monastery's refectory, a place where monks would gather to dine and reflect on their spiritual practices. The room appears empty, yet it is filled with an aura of peace and tranquility that speaks to centuries of prayer and contemplation within its walls.
One striking feature in this photograph is the pulpit used for reading during meals. This unique architectural element adds a sense of solemnity to the space, reminding us of the religious devotion that once permeated every corner of this sacred building.
As we gaze upon this historical site through our modern lens, we are transported back in time to an era when faith was at the center of daily life. The intricate details of Gothic Cistercian design remind us not only of Spain's rich architectural heritage but also of its deep spiritual roots.
This print serves as a window into history, allowing us to glimpse into a world where religion and art intertwined seamlessly to create spaces that inspired awe and reverence.
