The photograph shows part of a painting
after a design for a mosaic by Antonio
Salviati (1816-1890) in the apse of the
Chapel of King’s College London, Strand Campus.
It depicts three of the seven representations of
the Spirit of God (those of Wisdom, Might and
Godliness) which surround Christ in Majesty, based
on Chapters Four and Five of the Book of Revelation.
The Chapel was designed by the distinguished
architect George Gilbert Scott, who was also respon-
sible for St Pancras Station and the Albert Memorial,
and was built between 1859 and 1864. It is used
daily for services including Morning Prayer,
Evensong, the College Eucharist, Holy Communion,
Orthodox Vespers and Roman Catholic Mass. For
further details of services, contact the Chaplaincy on
020-7848 2373.
The Chapel is currently the focus of an appeal
which aims to raise £1 million for the restoration and
long-term maintenance of the fabric, and to create an
endowment fund for choral and organ scholarships.
For further information about the appeal, contact the
Development Office on 020-7872 3006.
