EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to witness the construction of the iconic Building of Grande Chartreuse, nestled amidst the breathtaking Alps near Grenoble, France. The image, created by Francois Chauveau through his masterful engraving technique, beautifully captures the essence of this historical moment. The focus of this print is Saint Bruno of Cologne (c. 1030-1101), a revered figure who founded the Carthusian monastery at Chartreuse in 1084. As we gaze upon this scene, we can almost feel the dedication and determination that went into erecting such a magnificent structure. Le Sueur's artistic interpretation allows us to appreciate not only the architectural grandeur but also the natural beauty surrounding it. The rugged mountains serve as an awe-inspiring backdrop for this spiritual sanctuary. The monochrome palette adds a sense of timelessness to this image, emphasizing its historical significance. It invites us to reflect on centuries past when craftsmen meticulously crafted each stone and beam with unwavering devotion. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, let us be reminded of Saint Bruno's enduring legacy and his profound impact on religious history. This print serves as a window into a bygone era where faith and artistry converged to create something truly extraordinary - an everlasting testament to human ingenuity and spirituality.
