Azelin Candelabrum
 |
|
| [Note Guidelines] 艺术家笔记 |
This is a view of the Azelin Candelabrum in St. Antonius chapel in the cloister of Hildesheim cathedral. Hildesheim is situated in the south of the federal state Niedersachsen (Lower Saxony), not far away from Hannover.
The candelabrum is accredited to bishop Azelin (1044 - 1054).
Only 4 of these medieval ring-shaped - like spoke wheels - candleholders are preserved in Germany because these 4 are made "only" of gold-plated copper and not of pure gold. By this they were kept from meltdown. Two of them are preserved in Hildesheim. I'll also show the other one, hanging in the intersection of the cathedral - with a diameter of 6 meters - the biggest still existing one.
They all show what is predicted in the Book of Revelation, chapter 21: The New Jerusalem coming down from heaven. The candelabrums show the golden city walls of Jerusalem with watchtowers.
This work of art transmits an incredible impression and one cannot help but be fascinated of it. Imagine - this golden ring in the dark church - with all candles burning ...
In the workshop you can see the interior of the chapel with Azelin Candelabrum and another photo with some of the incredible details of this nearly 1000 years old work of art. |

Hallo Frank,
ach, der ist noch sch鰊er als der Barbarossaleuchter in Aachen! Sehr gut sind auch die WS-Bilder. Ehrlich gesagt, ich habe die Symbolik der Leuchter erst jetzt verstanden.
H鋞te ich nur eine 鋒nlich scharfe und ausgeglichene Aufnahme in Aachen machen k鰊nen!

I have looked at the your beautiful gallery and I have to say that really you are an excellent photographer. Among all of your beautiful images, I have chosen this, because is done well technically and because the subject is very original. It would deserve many more points of those that it has. Very pleasant also the WS, compliment!
