Chateau de Chambord
$22.00
The forest at Chambord is the largest walled park in Europe. You come out of it and there is suddenly a roofline of turrets and chimneys and a lantern tower above the trees, the silhouette every French schoolchild has drawn at least once. François I began it in 1519 as a hunting lodge. He stayed only a few weeks of his life. The double-helix staircase at the centre still climbs without anyone meeting anyone coming the other way. People stop in the meadow before the bridge and don't move for a while.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
