depth & perspective, a photo from Evora, South

Photographer's Note

The Cathedral of Évora (Portuguese: Sé de Évora) is a Roman Catholic church in the city of Évora, Portugal. It is one of the oldest and most important local monuments, lying on the highest spot of the city. It is part of the historical city centre, and the seat of the Archdiocese of Evora.

The Cathedral of Évora, built mainly between 1280 and 1340, was designed following closely the floor plan of Lisbon Cathedral, which had been built in the second half of the 12th century in Romanesque style.

Like that church, the builders of Évora Cathedral designed a Latin cross church with a transept, a nave higher than its two aisles, a triforium (arched gallery over the central aisle) and an apse with three chapels. The crossing of the transept is topped by a dome, supported by pendentives, and an octagonal lantern. The transepts are lighted by two Gothic rose windows, one with the morning star and the other with the mystical rose.

Bonjour Stephen,

Premièrement, le regard suit le plancher très symétrique qui mène vers les grilles en arrière plan ensuite on lève les yeux pour apprécier le plafond plein de belles formes et textures.

Amicalement

Hi Stephen,

This area of the cathedral is impressive. The point of view is showing the details of the columns and of the arches. The light is giving nice tints to the colors. Have a nice day. A critique writen from Rome.

Hello Stephen
Looking at your excellent picture with great perspective and lovely lightning of this old cathedral I discover an interesting combination of Romanesque and Gothic architecture. It shows how these churches changes during their long existence.
Beautiful picture
Have a good week, groet Rob
