Chateau de Chenonceau
$22.00
The château sits across the river, not beside it. Five arches step over the Cher and carry a long gallery from one bank to the other. The house was mostly built by women: Katherine Briçonnet, Diane de Poitiers, Catherine de Medici, Louise Dupin. In a later war the same gallery served as a quiet crossing between occupied and free France. The gardens hold the shape they were given in the 1550s. On still mornings the river under the floor shows the windows back to themselves.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
