EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Durham Cathedral Sanctuary Knocker, a faithful replica of the original 12th-century bronze masterpiece. The English School beautifully captures the essence of this historical artifact located in Durham Cathedral, UK. Dating back to approximately 1140, this sanctuary knocker holds immense significance within the cathedral's rich history. While the original knocker is safely preserved in the Cathedral Treasury, this copy allows visitors to marvel at its intricate design and symbolism. The three-dimensional form of this knocker represents beasts depicted in the St. Calais manuscripts, bringing mythical creatures to life through artistry and craftsmanship. Its lion's head shape adds an air of majesty and strength to any doorway it adorns. Through Bridgeman Images' lens, we are transported into a world where door knobs become works of art and door knockers tell stories from centuries past. This photograph perfectly captures every detail – from its ornate handle to its delicate ring – inviting us to imagine who might have sought sanctuary behind these doors throughout history. As we gaze upon this image, we cannot help but appreciate both the beauty of our surroundings and the enduring legacy left by those who came before us. It serves as a reminder that even everyday objects can hold profound meaning when viewed through an artistic lens.
