Description

While a great many researchers, be they historians of religion or ideas, have examined the history of the Rosicrucian brotherhood, the artistic aspect connected with Rosicrucian thought has remained relatively unexplored. William Pesson has just addressed this shortfall. His book shows us, with the support of photographs and illustrations, how Rose-Crosses lie at the origin of the most singular artistic and architectural creations, which transpose into art and stone the ideas of freedom and brotherhood, as well as a cosmic conception of the universe, Nature and its laws. Rosicrucian symbolism has appeared on tombs, temples and in visionary architecture, not only across Europe, but also in the USA, South America and Africa: symbolism which would come to inspire Goethe, Newton, Balzac, Rudolf Steiner and Kandinsky, as well as Edith Piaf, Fernando Pessoa and Frank Capra! William Pesson is an architect and art historian, specialising in esoteric architecture. Maurice Culot is an architect and town-planner.
