Lay Brothers Refectory, Fountains Abbey, 1980

This striking black-and-white image captures an expansive, arched stone hallway with numerous intersecting ribbed vault ceilings, evoking a sense of historical grandeur as light softly filters through an unseen source, casting gentle shadows that accentuate the architectural intricacies and create a dramatic, almost ethereal atmosphere in the vast, seemingly endless corridor.
