Lord Edward Seymor, monument edit

The text I have set in Italics and sourced also appears in other articles. It is a copy taken from those articles. It is an original text by John Stabb - I have read it - and I compared the text by Stabb with the quote in Wikipedia. So the sources are mentioned in the Ref-list and further citation is not needed.--Bockpeterteuto (talk) 07:51, 17 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

I think Pevsener saw the monument with the eyes of modern people. For understanding the monument you ought to think like people of the baroque times. By my opinion the artist did not intend to elaborate realistic figures of fallen human corpses, but he intended to depict figures, that communicate with the visitor of the church in that manner "We are still among all of you". In baroque times dying persons and even the dead remained to be members and parts of the family. Children played in the room of the dying person and dying was not a terrible ending, but only a new and better beginning - a new sphere of the existence of a person, the entrance of a better world. The figures are lying there like people, who rest and relax at a meadow of the countryside having a picnic for example and having pleasurous family life. I think the monument has been intended as an allegory of resurrection. In Germany you call this the "Vanitas-Gedanke". I think, moderns points of view are not helpful to interprete this monument. - As far as I know some people say, this monumnt had been erected by the son of the Lord Seymour and not by himself. If this is true, then the monument came into existence in baroque times. The style of working out fits. If I find the source concerning the last mentioned aspect, I will add that. --Bockpeterteuto (talk) 07:20, 18 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

One must be a fan, if one disagrees with a merger proposal. One must also be a fan to be motivated to write articles about english churches....--Bockpeterteuto (talk) 21:31, 17 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
