The Chapel at Sugar Hill
Francois de Melogue
2025 | Archival pigment print on metallic lustre fine art paper | 25x17
St. Matthew's Chapel stands at the crest of Sugar Hill on white clapboard, its needle steeple pointing into a sky gone half storm, half blue. The door is the color of cut butternut squash, and it holds its warmth against the white paint the way a candle holds its light against a large room. To the right, a maple has gone fully, extravagantly red — the kind of red that seems lit from inside rather than reflected from without. Its leaves have begun to fall, and the ground beneath it is a loose patchwork of scarlet and rust and brown settling into the asphalt of the curved drive.
Behind the chapel, the hills are in full argument — orange against yellow, yellow ceding to green at the edges, a dark spruce standing quiet amid the commotion. The clouds carry the weight and texture of wet wool, dragging low over the White Mountains. The air in a place like this smells of cold earth and leaf rot and something faintly sweet, the last of the season's warmth giving way. The stillness of the chapel is not the stillness of emptiness. It is the stillness of something that has stood through many Octobers and expects to stand through many more.
Quality is about longevity. I use a high-resolution Canon R5 Mark II to capture every detail of the New Hampshire landscape. Each piece is printed in-studio using professional-grade Canon Pro-1100 and Epson P9000 systems with archival pigment inks on natural cotton paper to create a print that will last for generations.
Print only, with a 1/4 inch wide white bordering for convenient matting and (or) framing.
Unmatted (unmounted) / unframed.
Materials used:
Shot on a Canon EOS R5 Mark II. Printed on a Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-1100 using museum-grade archival pigment inks on metallic lustre fine art paper.
