Saint Emilion is, of course, a noted wine city. It is also a hilly place with appealing medieval limestone architecture. But, it was a visit to the Monolithic Church of Saint-Emilion that I liked best.
Around the inner courtyard, a modern mural fills the eyes and blows the mind. It is a modern interpretation of the Apocalypse of the New Testament, completed in 2018 by Francois Peltier.
I can't interpret all of the symbolism, but I can admire the beauty.
The church's peaceful courtyard offers a quiet counterpoint to the dazzling mural.
Saint-Emilion has very steep roads winding down to the lowest levels.
At the bottom, there is a cul-de-sac surrounded by art galleries.
What a great looking mural. Like you, I'm unsure of the symbolism, but the beauty comes through. I also like the horse sculpture in the cut-de-sac.
