Intricate

la complexité du "Beau XVI ème siècle" à Troyes.

This week I shall have wanted to participate in the challenge on the web site Daily Post. I could find 3 modern intricate pictures. In few days, I just might think about it !

What does the word “intricate” mean to you ?

1 –After the great fire in 1521 a part of our town was rapidly built again. Here it’s a famous street. The cats could jump from houses to houses. In this little street  3 houses were missing to the right. Nowadays the architects reconstituted the old timber farming on new buildings.

2 – « Jubé or round screen » was built (1510-1515) with “stones of TONERRE” by the Master Mason Jean GAILDE. It is an architectural exploit because ironworks are hidden in the masonry. Formerly it was totally polychromatic as we can see some green walls. As the tradition the builder is buried under one and on the gravestone is burnt “the happy resurrection without fear of being crushed”. On the rood screen a crucifix and new statues was added after the Revolution.  The narrators climbed on it to sing... In the countryside other one was built in oak and the Virgin Life is sculptured towards the chancel and the whole Passion story towards the nave.

3 – This Stained glasses window was created in 1500 by Jean I MACADRE perhaps. Here part of Jesse Tree (family tree of Jesus). Five generations was painted in the first medieval representations as our cathedral (or Chartres, or Paris …). But from Luke we can find 43 generations between Jesse to Jesus.  Look the intricate tree, every ancestry of Jesus get out in the heart of the flowers. The corollas are often red and orange or white for the Virgin. The red or blue glasses are often engraved. We’ll send it later. You can see more than 40 items in our countryside, the laster created in 2011.
