Item Description
Precise, Hand-drawn, Hand-painted, Chartres Cathedral Labyrinth Center Rosette on Canvas
This unique piece is a dimensionally accurate replica of the center Rosette of the Chartres Cathedral Labyrinth. It measures about 11.5 feet square, and has the precise measurements of the
original Rosette. It was created by Paxworks labyrinth maker John Ridder especially in honor of the work of Veriditas in spreading the labyrinth
experience throughout the world.
Imagine re-creating the special experience of arriving and receiving, in the center of the Chartres Cathedral Labyrinth without the jet
lag and TSA hassles!
Because the rosette is round, and the canvas is square, a portion of the next few paths are shown in the corners. This gives a hint of the greater journey beyond the space you occupy.
The work includes subtle representation of the many joints between the stones.
The paint color of the dark/black lines is specially
selected to be as close to the true color of the stones which have a slight blue tint.

Item Special Note
This canvas was once “connected by its
threads” to a full size canvas labyrinth made by Paxworks and being walked by
somebody, somewhere. (When we prepare and join the canvas the scraps are
saved to be donated to schools, charities, or sometimes to become unique
artwork. )
It was completed on September 19-20, 2011 as both as a meditation on the end of summer, and in preparation for my journey to Massachusetts to join other labyrinth makers working on a single installation of four labyrinths for a new psychiatric hospital.
In the tradition of labyrinth makers worldwide, the artist signature is humbly placed on the back of the canvas.
It has been blessed with sacred waters from the crypt at Chartres Cathedral.
