Koorstoel 1837 - 1839

This detailed lithograph by Léon Auguste Asselineau depicts a choir stall from the Abbey of St. Denis in France. The stall is a prime example of Gothic architecture, with intricate carvings and tracery reminiscent of stained glass windows. Created in 1837-1839, the artwork captures the grandeur and beauty of medieval craftsmanship. Asselineau, a French artist known for his architectural drawings, skillfully renders the intricate details of the stall, allowing viewers to appreciate the craftsmanship of the past. The drawing, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to the enduring legacy of Gothic art and its influence on subsequent architectural styles.
