The digital artwork "Soli Deo Gloria" is an impressive and symbolic image that reflects the rich history and spiritual significance of Houten Town Hall. At the centre of the image is an ancient, stylised entrance gate, which occupies a prominent place in the town hall. The gate has a classical, almost Gothic look with detailed stones and ornate decorations, evoking a sense of grandeur and heritage.
Above the gate is a magnificent coat of arms, a symbol of power and status, highlighting the historical importance of this entrance. Below the coat of arms is the text "SOLI DEO GLORIA", a Latin phrase meaning "Only God the honour", referring to the divine praise and sacred significance of the site.
A stained-glass window is visible in the entrance itself. This window depicts a religious scene of the Holy Family: Joseph, Mary and the infant Jesus. The vibrant colours and detailed depiction of these iconic figures highlight the devotion and Christian heritage associated with Houten's history.
The year 1635, inscribed next to the text, marks the historical importance of this gateway and window. The artwork combines elements of religion, history and heritage in a powerful and visually impressive way.
