[QUOTE="Blue439, post: 831532, member: 53455"] [B]The “Old Saint Vincent” in Mâcon, Burgundy (2023)[/B] The “Old Saint Vincent”, as it is known today, is the original cathedral church of the city of Mâcon in Burgundy. Built mostly between 1000 and 1050, it is a very old and venerable monument. The cathedral was destroyed towards the end of the French Revolution, but for once not owing to the (unfortunately) usual revolutionary zeal, but simply because the building had become damaged and unsafe, and repairs were assessed as too expensive to be undertaken in those otherwise troubled times. Demolition began in 1799 and only the narthex and the bell towers were spared. Restoration of the remains began in 1850, and is still going on today. The Romanesque portal that led into the nave is one of the oldest monumental portals remaining in the whole of Europe, possibly even the oldest. It has been very damaged but is still admirable. The manner of the sculpture is very similar to that of the altar of the Avenas church, which I have previously uploaded to the forum. American art historian Edson Armi ascribes them all to the anonymous artist he dubs “the Master of Avenas”. Nikon Z7 II, Nikkor 19mm, ƒ/4 PC-E tilt-shift lens, manual focus, FTZ II adapter. Gitzo tripod, Benro geared head. Natural light. [ATTACH type="full"]417897[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
