Vandalisme, a photo from Bourgogne, Central

Photographer's Note

Vandalisme

D'innombrables 閐ifices et 渦vres d'art ont 閠� d閠ruits tout au long de la p閞iode r関olutionnaire, au nom de la lutte contre la monarchie, de la lutte contre la f閛dalit� et de la lutte contre la religion. C'est de cette p閞iode que date le mot de "vandalisme", invent� par l'abb� Gr間oire.

Bonjour Philippe,
Vandalism and also terrorism is of all times. Reading about it is no so impressive as seeing it on TV, but it was always there. There are a lot of churches in the Netherlands that show us the results of the vandalism in the time of the 揵eeldenstorm�.

Bonjour Philippe,
Nice frontal view of the head-less statues. To my opinion, this was a "tradition" by the conquer when taken over another country, as we saw in Athena, Greece in many places - and we saw that still done in several places nowadays, both to human and to art elements.
Fine clear details shown.
Bonne Samedi,
Ike

Hello Philippe,
I did not realise that the word vandalism had such a long history; the things we learn through TE:-) Excellent capture of these decapitated statues. Very good rendering of the tones and textures. Such destruction has of course gone on since time immemorial and continues to this day.

Bonjour Philippe,

Le cadrage serr� met cette partie de l'間lise en 関idence. La prise de vue permet de voir les d閠ails des portes et des statues. La bonne luminosit� donne de belles teintes aux couleurs de l'image. Bonne journ閑.

Bonjour Philippe,

On peut aussi consid閞er que les guerres de religion ont 閠� les plus sauvages et les plus destructrices, m阭e encore aujourd'hui avec les destructions de joyaux historiques. Il y a de quoi en perdre la t阾e.

Bon samedi

Bonjour Philippe,
Je sais que ce ph閚om鑞e est nomm� d'apr鑣 le peuple des Vandales, qui a attaqu� � plusieurs reprises la ville de Rome o� ils ont fait des ravages. Mais je ne savais pas que c'閠ait depuis la r関olution fran鏰ise que le mot vandalisme est utilis� pour les destructions inutiles.
Malheureusement encore aujourd'hui le vandalisme appara顃. Parfois, par des personnes ayant peu de respect et par des autres d閘ib閞閙ent pour des raisons politiques ou id閛logiques. Pensez � Bamyan en Afghanistan et Palmyre en Syrie.
Amicalement, Paul

Witaj Paul!
Ciekawe detale.

Good colors and light.
Nice sunday.

Ciao Philippe
ho visto anch'io molte opere d'arte devastate nei secoli per colpa di movimenti politici pi� o meno giusti, del resto succede ancora, basta leggere i giornali o sentire i notiziari per capire che non � cambiato niente. Purtroppo poche persone cattive possono distruggere opere che milioni di persone amano, � troppo facile rompere anzich� creare.
Bella foto, significativa e corredata da una piccola nota, ma che fa riflettere molto.
Buona domenica
Carlo

Cher ami Philippe,

How sad that the vandals of the middle ages decapitated the statues, just as the fundamentalist vandals of modern times in Afghanistan, Syria and Iraq have decimated works of art. There is a limit to genius, but there is not limit to ignorance and stupidity.

Warm regards, my friend,

Bulent

Salut Philippe,
Jolie architecture avec une d閏oration raffin閑, bien valoris閑 par ta photo, bonne gestion de l'exposition et de la nettet�, int閞essante note.

emka (152194) 2016-07-03 3:08

hello Philippe,

Of course, I knew about Vandals and how they sacked Rome, but I had no idea who invented the word Vandalisme. But such senseless barbaric destruction was ever and still is. Sometimes from stupidity, frustration, very often from religious fanatism, like recently the acts of vandalism in Palmyra. here the image is very small (why?) and at the beginning I could not see. Yes, the figures had no heads. Muslims used to decapitate sculptures, were they there too?

Bonjour cher Philippe,
your composition and the brief note that accompanies make a strong impact, you chose a straightforward and eloquent way to touch a very unsettling subject. Your picture has excellent details, it gives us a partial but very interesting glimpse of the architecture, the line of headless statues makes a sad and captivating sight. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a great evening,
Ourania

Hi Philippe
So sad when this happens but it has gone on for many years i guess! unfortunately it happens everywhere, sometimes on beautiful statues. A very well spotted and captured historical image, superb texture and tones. Thats life and how it always had been, great image and content though. Congrats
Best wishes

Hello Philippe,
A amazing view of this place with lovely details.
Nice colours, very good composition and interesting notes.
Good work

Bonjour Philippe,

Nice repetition of the headless statues. They were probably removed for sale on the black market, to finance the revolt. Good sharpness and perspective. Tfs!
