威斯敏斯特大教堂的女王之窗
圖片說明該設計反映了女王對鄉村的嚮往
威斯敏斯特大教堂(Westminster Abbey)展示了大衛·霍克尼(David Hockney)設計的彩色玻璃窗,慶祝女王的統治。
位於北半部的女王窗戶取代了建築物中僅有的少數幾扇通透的窗戶之一。
- Transept:[名]《建築》(十字形教会堂の)翼廊 Sometimes called the ‘Crossing’, the transept forms wings at right angles to the nave.[2] In early Romanesque churches, it was often at the east end, creating a Tau Cross. Later designs placed the transept about two-thirds of the way from the West End to the East End. This created the Latin cross plan. It usually separates the nave from the choir.[3]
Hockney, who created the design on his iPad, said the hawthorn blossom scene is set in Yorkshire.
Westminster Abbey said the result "reflects the Queen as a countrywoman and her widespread delight in, and yearning for, the countryside".
