This window in the Hervormde Kerk at Westmaas, made anonymously, is a little gem. It's as if the artist was building something, block by block, letting the light dictate the path. I can imagine them piecing together these painted panes, each one a tiny world, a story, or maybe just a feeling. The effect is like looking through a kaleidoscope of history. Each panel seems to be talking to the others, a real exchange of ideas across time. There’s something so fundamentally human about that. The overall effect is like a beautiful, quiet conversation. It reminds me of the stained-glass windows you see in churches, they all seem to be whispering secrets. These anonymous artists have been exchanging ideas for centuries, and it makes me think about how we are all just a part of this big, ongoing conversation.
