Gezicht op de Mauerstrasse met de Drievuldigheidskerk in Berlijn 1749 - 1808

Johann Georg Rosenberg crafted this view of the Mauerstrasse with the Trinity Church in Berlin as an etching. The dome, prominently featured, evokes not just a place of worship, but also a symbolic representation of the heavens, a motif deeply rooted in architectural and religious traditions. We can find similar structures mirrored across time, from the Pantheon in Rome to the Florence Cathedral. The very act of raising one’s eyes towards a dome becomes a gesture of seeking, connecting the earthly realm with the divine. It is this reaching towards something greater that resonates within us. These forms persist, echoing through the corridors of history and collective memory, continuously reshaping our understanding of space, faith, and aspiration.
