Cloister and Park on Paradise Island, the Bahamas
The cloisters at Fontevraud are some of the finest in France, if not Europe. This image was converted to B&W in Photoshop CS3.
Monks' dormitory and frater, and the splendid cloister, completed about 1200 is well preserved, and is one of the finest Italian cloisters both for size and beauty of detail now extant. It is about 16 m², with pointed arches decorated with diaper work, supported on pairs of columns in white marble, 216 in all, which were alternately plain and decorated by bands of patterns in gold and colors, made of glass tesserae, arranged either spirally or vertically from end to end of each shaft.
