A Gothic Cloister Window Canvas Print

A window in the beautiful gardens and cloister of the Segovia Cathedral. officially known as the Santa Catedral de Nuestra señora de la Asunción y de San Frutos (The Holy Cathedral of Our Lady of the Holy Assumption and Saint Frutos).

After Segovia’s old cathedral was destroyed in the Revolt of the Comuneros in 1520 a new one was constructed high in the former Jewish Quarter, some distance from the 16th-century Alcázar where it would be out of harm’s way.

Despite being built in the renaissance, this magnificent building was constructed in an old-fashioned gothic style and is considered one of Europe’s newest original gothic structures.

Segovia is a provincial capital in the autonomous community of Castile and León. It is the enchanting home of the famous Alcázar palace, the famous Segovia aqueduct, several Romanesque churches, and the cathedral.

'The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes.' ~ Marcel Proust, writer, Paris, 1871-1922. My photographs are not merely a record of what was before my camera, but rather my visualization of the place and time as I remember discovering it, be it a particular mood, impression, or ambiance. These images may bring back memories of your own travels or they might inspire, you in some small way to venture off and maybe discover exciting, new landscapes of your own. But in the meantime, consider placing one of these photographs on your wall as a window to foreign lands. A note to those who purchase one of my images, you have my deepest thanks. I am honored that you have chosen one of my photographs...
