EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, taken by Arnold Genthe between 1904 and 1938, captures the enchanting and abandoned beauty of La Cartuja de Jerez, a Carthusian monastery located in Jerez de la Frontera, Spain. The image transports us back in time to the 1910s, 1920s, and 1930s, a period of great change and upheaval in Europe. The monastery, with its intricately designed arches and arched cloisters, is a stunning example of Gothic architecture, a testament to the rich Christian heritage of Europe. The arches, once adorned with vibrant colors, now stand overgrown and abandoned, their grandeur faded but not lost. The image is a poignant reminder of the passage of time and the transience of human endeavors. Arnold Genthe, an American photographer, captured this image as part of his extensive travel collection, which is now housed in the Library of Congress in Washington D.C. The nitrate negative, a fragile and obsolete photographic medium, adds to the historical significance of the image. The photograph is a visual feast for the eyes, inviting us to explore the architectural wonders of Europe's past and to reflect on the enduring power of art and heritage. The image also serves as a reminder of the connections between Europe and America during this period, as American travelers like Genthe explored the Old World and brought back images that captured the imagination of audiences back home. The photograph is a treasure of heritage art, a visual record of a bygone era, and a reminder of the beauty and richness of Europe's architectural legacy.
