The Rose Window series continues with Rose Window V3
In the soaring heights of Gothic cathedrals, few architectural wonders captivate the eye and soul quite like the rose window. These vast, circular masterpieces of stained glass, often spanning over thirty feet in diameter, bloom like luminous flowers against stone walls, their intricate stone tracery radiating outward in hypnotic symmetry—petals, flames, and geometric mandalas that echo both the natural world and divine order. Crafted in the 12th and 13th centuries by anonymous medieval artisans using techniques that still border on the miraculous, they transform ordinary sunlight into cascading rivers of sapphire, ruby, emerald, and gold that dance across ancient floors and vaulted ceilings. More than mere decoration, a rose window served as a theological encyclopedia in light: the central oculus often depicting Christ in Majesty or the Virgin Mary (the “Mystic Rose”), surrounded by biblical scenes, saints, and cosmic symbols representing the harmony of creation, the Wheel of Time, and the infinite nature of God. Standing beneath one—especially at Chartres, Notre-Dame, or Sainte-Chapelle—is to witness architecture become transcendent, where stone and glass conspire to make the invisible visible and draw the human spirit upward into wonder.
This Medallion features a Mirrored Proof Finish on both the obverse & the reverse.
Extremely limited mini-mintage World-Wide Production of only 278 pieces!
The medallion is enclosed in an Air-tite capsule, and includes an individually numbered COA and a black "Silver Shield" presentation box.
