IJzeren poort afkomstig van het klooster van Le Puy-en-Velay before 1857

This photograph by Hippolyte Malègue, taken before 1857, depicts an iron gate from the cloister of the Cathedral of Le Puy-en-Velay. The intricate design features a repeating pattern of stylized spirals and leaves, a testament to the craftsmanship of the medieval period. This detail, likely from a Romanesque or Gothic-era structure, provides a glimpse into the decorative artistry of its time and showcases the enduring beauty of metalwork.
