EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the South-East Transept of Canterbury Cathedral, a renowned Christian structure that dates back to the 6th century. The artist behind this remarkable piece is CM Dixon, who skillfully captures the architectural beauty and historical significance of this iconic building. Canterbury Cathedral holds a special place in English history as one of the oldest and most famous Christian structures in the country. Its origins trace back to 597 when it was founded, but it underwent extensive reconstruction between 1070 and 1077 after a devastating fire. Throughout its existence, the cathedral has been expanded and rebuilt multiple times, with significant Gothic-style renovations following another destructive fire in 1174. The focal point of this image is undoubtedly the late 12th-century Oculus window—a mesmerizing round feature that adds an ethereal touch to Canterbury Cathedral's grandeur. Standing tall against the backdrop of Norman architecture, this rose window symbolizes both artistic brilliance and religious devotion. As we gaze upon this photograph taken by CM Dixon on a sunny day, we are transported through time. The aged exterior tells stories of centuries past while reminding us of our connection to faith and spirituality. This image serves as a testament to England's rich cultural heritage and stands as a powerful reminder of Canterbury Cathedral's enduring legacy within Christianity.
