EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative sketch of the Monastery of St. Bernard in Charnwood Forest, Leicestershire, was created by the Reverend Baden Powell in 1859. The Monastery, which is part of the Bernardine Order, is nestled atop a hill in the forest, surrounded by the rolling hills and scenic beauty of the countryside. The Monastery's imposing stone walls, with their intricate details and Gothic architecture, stand proud against the backdrop of the forest, while the crucifix atop the building reaches towards the heavens. The Monastery's location in Charnwood Forest is not only picturesque but also geologically significant. The rocks observed in the area are primarily feldspathic porphyry and Cambrian, adding to the natural beauty and historical significance of the site. The Monastery's association with the Powell family is also noteworthy, as the Reverend Baden Powell is the father of Robert Baden-Powell, the founder of the Scout Movement. This sketch, created in ink, offers a glimpse into the Victorian era and the religious traditions of the time. The peaceful scene of the Monastery amidst the forest and cattle grazing in the field adds to the tranquility and serenity of the image. The Monastery of St. Bernard remains a popular tourist destination and a place of pilgrimage for those seeking spiritual reflection and connection to the natural world.
