Description:
Not based on sketches or photos, these might be called imagined landscapes - or dreamscapes - of the mediaeval village of Minerve, built precariously on a buttress of rock at the confluence of two rivers in the foothills of the Montagnes Noires.
One of the many 'last stands' of the Cathars - a simple,breakaway cult that wanted nothing to do with the increasing pomp and worldliness of the Catholic religion - Minerve, in 1210, was starved and then bombed with slingshot into submission: only to be burnt - man, woman and child - at the stake. Another result for the evil Simon de Monfort.
