Sir Christopher Wrens Final Design for St Paul s, 17th century. (1910). Artist: Sir Christopher Wren
Sir Christopher Wrens Final Design for St Paul s, 17th century. (1910). In designing St Paul s, Christopher Wren had to meet many challenges. He had to create a fitting cathedral to replace Old St Paul s, as a place of worship and as a landmark within the City of London, to satisfy requirements of the church and tastes of a royal patron, as well as respecting the essentially mediaeval tradition of English church building. From The Connoisseur Vol XXVIII. [Otto Limited, London, 1910]
