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.
