Explore the geometry and symbolism of one of the great rose windows of Chartres Cathedral.
This architectural heritage card features a carefully drawn study of the North Rose Window, revealing the radiating divisions, circles and repeating forms that organise its intricate composition. The design offers a glimpse into the geometric language through which medieval builders created harmony, proportion and rhythm in architecture.
The Latin inscription Omnia in Mensura et Numero — All things in measure and number — reflects the medieval understanding of number and proportion as fundamental to the order of creation.
Printed on substantial card stock, this Heritage Card is designed to be collected, displayed or framed.
A small study in architecture, geometry & heritage.
