EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting city of Chartres in the mid-19th century. The creator, Em. Pec, skillfully captures the timeless beauty of Chartres Cathedral, a masterpiece of Gothic architecture that has stood tall since the 13th century. The image showcases the exterior of this magnificent cathedral, highlighting its intricate carvings and statues. Through clever use of chiaroscuro, Pec emphasizes the play between light and shadow on the stone sculptures, adding depth and drama to his composition. Chartres Cathedral holds great significance in Christian history as it houses relics of saints such as St. Gregory and St. Jerome. Its grandeur is a testament to France's rich religious heritage. Pec's salted paper print technique from a paper negative adds an ethereal quality to this photograph, transporting viewers back in time to experience medieval France firsthand. The attention to detail is remarkable; every sculptural element comes alive under Pec's lens. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this artwork by Emile Pierre Joseph Pécarrère (Em. Pec) serves as a window into both historical and artistic realms. It invites us to appreciate not only the architectural marvels but also the mastery behind capturing them through photography. As we gaze upon this stunning image, we are reminded that even centuries later, Chartres Cathedral continues to inspire awe with its enduring beauty and spiritual significance
