The strawberry hill reredos (actually the whole east wall) is a well drawn example that carries a unity throughout the various elements but that is where the harmony and unity of style end. The central altar makes no attempt to sit within that style. The statuary is very inferior in artistic ambition. The windows, in their subjects, their execution and their structures make no pretence at gothik, as you put it. I applaud your survey but I worry that it is ignoring the eclecticism that already existed in the interiors even before the iconoclasm of the present pigmy age.Dodgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00573449581872090547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503689522096376739.post-27830745330662182992012-02-04T17:51:46.742+00:002012-02-04T17:51:46.742+00:00Still is our Catholic heritage and they should lea...Still is our Catholic heritage and they should leave it be.
