Precious collectible for an original gift already ready in two already defined versions, but with the possibility of customizations on specific request.
Rosslyn Chapel, also known as St Matthew's Chapel, is a church located in Roslin, Midlothian, Scotland, and construction began on 21 September 1446 by William Sinclair, 1st Earl of Caithness and ended 4 years later, on 21 September 1450, the day of the Autumn Equinox. The church was dedicated to St. Matthew the Apostle and Evangelist precisely because September 21 corresponds in the Gregorian calendar to the day of St. Matthew.
The diorama represented by my creation refers to this family chapel, and is the most likely miniature to the characteristics of the Sinclair house temple, projected into the most exasperated esotericism with references to the themes of modern Freemasonry.
The columns on the sides of the entrance to the Temple perfectly replicated as the existing ones.
"The Apprentice's Column" so called for its very original shape and uniqueness among others. Legend has it that the Master, absent from the construction work of the Temple, on his return, given the splendid realization, assassinated the apprentice who dared to overcome it.
The support base made of ancient chestnut wood, painted with non-toxic two-component epox, provides the support support for the entire plastic scaffold.
The carry-over of the theological virtues :faith - hope and charity themes of eternal ideals "Faith - Hope - Charity" written in mother tongue in one creation and in Italian in the other; the two columns that hold the Gothic arch, the temple door framed shops at the wooden edge and the two Celtic crosses in the center of the windows on the sides of the front, in their entirety represent the façade of the chapel; the two largest columns placed on the sides and slightly behind the virtual line of entrance to the Temple represent instead the esoteric center in the time space enclosed in the miniature. The material used to make the diorama is a casting of Jesmonite resin from a cast of my own creation.
The beautiful fusion of the Team and the Compasso immersed in a transparent epoxy resin bath and then set at the top of the front.
Base size: mm. 120 x mm 250, the height at the top of the capitals is 170 mm.
