[QUOTE="Blue439, post: 830668, member: 53455"] [B]Saint Peter priory church in Carennac (2022)[/B] Originally founded by the abbey of Beaulieu-sur-Dordogne and dedicated to Saint Peter, the priory church in the village of Carennac (southwestern France) was later given an astounding portal and historied tympanum, which is famous worldwide among the connoisseurs of Romanesque art. At the time it was built, the church was integrated into the Mediæval sheet wall that defended the village; that is why the twin-door portal opened to the South, on what used to be the village’s main street, even though it is quite narrow to our modern eyes. The portal and its tympanum are late Romanesque and were probably not built before 1150 or so. The rest of the church is older and much humbler, so what happened? Well, what happened is that, in 1047–48, the abbey of Beaulieu handed over this priory to the all-powerful Burgundian abbey of Cluny, and that is where the financing and the technical and artistic expertise came from to create such a masterpiece. Carennac is on the [I]Via Arverna[/I] Path to Compostela and listed among the [I]Plus beaux villages de France[/I]. Nikon Z7 II, Nikkor 19mm, ƒ/4 PC-E tilt-shift lens, manual focus, FTZ II adapter. Gitzo tripod, Benro geared head. [ATTACH type="full"]416910[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
