Kaysersberg Ramparts
$22.00
The fortified bridge over the Weiss is the photograph everyone leaves with. Crenellated parapet, a single sandstone arch, a small Pietà set into a niche above the water on the upstream side. Above the town the keep of the upper castle holds the ridge, the one Frederick II bought in 1227 to hold the road over the Vosges. The vineyards begin at the gate and don't stop until the Rhine. The village voted itself out of obscurity in 2017, but the ramparts have been here a thousand years and weren't planning to leave.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
