Grafmonument in St. George's Chapel te Windsor before 1898

This photograph by J.T. Sandell depicts the monument in St. George’s Chapel in Windsor. Notice the architectural lines, emblems of divine geometry, designed to elevate the spirit. This reaching towards the heavens can be traced back to the ziggurats of Mesopotamia, echoed in Gothic cathedrals across Europe, and even mirrored in the towering skyscrapers of our modern age. These structures symbolize humanity's eternal quest for transcendence, each era reinterpreting the yearning in stone and steel. Reflect on how this striving, embedded deep within our collective psyche, manifests not just in grand monuments but in our personal aspirations. It’s the echo of ancestral dreams, a timeless motif resonating through history. This image encapsulates our ongoing dialogue with the sacred, a conversation as old as civilization itself.
