Abelardo Morell

Camera Obscura Image of the Cloisters, Lackock Abbey, England
2003

A black and white photograph depicting a shadowy interior with gothic architectural elements. A central column supports arched ceilings, and a wrought iron chair sits to the left. Light streams through an open door on the right, casting bright patches on the floor and a music stand is visible in the background. The atmosphere is moody and evocative of historical settings.
