ST PAUL’S CATHEDRAL: PHOTO SHARING

ST PAUL’S CATHEDRAL: THE INTERIOR AND THE “GREAT MODEL” 1710 AD
These images of ST. PAUL’S CATHEDRAL and its interior are from the VIRTUAL TOUR of the Cathedral found on the St. Paul’s website. This magnificent structure and Wren’s GREAT MODEL stand apart from all the other great historic sites in this splendid city. It is not my plan to tell the story of ST PAUL’S; rather, I want to stir visitors’s interest to know the building and the Great Model before their visits in order understand and appreciate the great history which, for me, still dominates London’s skyline. I refuse to let the “pickle” distract me. These images are absolutely magnificent. I hope you enjoy the images as I have.
AND NOW THE GREAT MODEL WHICH SIR CHRISTOPHER WREN CREATED TO PROMOTE HIS SECOND DESIGN. IT IS NOW ON THE SECOND FLOOR OF THE CATHEDRAL, IN A LARGE ROOM WHERE IT WAS CREATED.

ST. PAUL’S CATHEDRAL: THE TYMPANUM OF THE WEST PEDIMENT
The TYMPANUM of the West PEDIMENT of St. Paul’s Cathedral depicts St. Paul’s conversion to Christianity. This magnificent pediment carving shows the appearance of the Resurrected Christ to Saul, to be later known as Paul. The resulting blindness and Paul’s conversion are the foundation of this magnificent celebration, Sir Christopher Wren’s great cathedral. The carvings on the TYMPANUM are like the thesis statement of an important essay about St. Paul. I took the above images when I was flying through London on the motorbike. Being in the open like that, I had time to see things I had never noticed before, in this case the West Pediment. It was spectacular. St. Paul’s conversion was a great theme in Western Civilization art from Michelangelo to Modigliani.
