How to fix Wordpress images not showing up in local hosted XAMPP server?

I have recently been trying to establish a working method of developing Wordpress sites locally by making use of an XAMPP server. The issue is that any images that I attempt to use refuse to show up when I load the page in a browser. I'm using the <?php echo get_template_directory(); ?>/library/images/name_of_the_svg_image file path, and when you right click and find them in the browser inspector HTML them shows the source as: C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\wp/wp-content/themes/Chronaemia/library/images/name_of_the_svg_image Which, when I copy and paste it into the browser, shows the image properly. Is there something obvious that I am missing here?
