Information about the Canterbury Cathedral:
Canterbury Cathedral is a large, gothic building in the town of Canterbury in Kent, England. The official name of the structure is the Cathedral and Metropolitical Church of Christ at Canterbury. It is one of the most famous and oldest Christian structures in England. It is believed to have been founded in about 602 by Augustine of Canterbury. One of the most famous historical events connected with the cathedral is the murder of Thomas Becket by the knights of King Henry II, who had frequent conflicts with the priest culminating his assassination. The cathedral survived a massive fire in 1174, which destroyed much of the eastern portion of the building as well as an earthquake in 1382. The cathedral has nearly two dozen bells in it’s three towers.

Artist’s notes:
The drawing of Canterbury Cathedral was completed over the course of several months in 1992. The drawing is unique, as I used several photos to show how the cathedral would have looked if none of the surrounding buildings were around it. I have no idea if this building ever stood alone and apart from other building, but I thought it would make an interesting study to try and show the building from end to end. It is also a rarity in the image library as I included a sky in the drawing.

The Basilica of Saint Mary's in Minneapolis, Minnesota has the distinction of being the very first basilica established in the United States. It is the co-cathedral Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis, along with the Cathedral of Saint Paul. The church is done in the style of Beaux-Arts architecture, and is considered to be one of the finest examples of this style in the nation. Construction began on the church in 1907 and was completed in 1915. The building was designed by renowned Frano-American architect Emmanuel Louis Masqueray (who also helped design the Cathedral of Saint Paul, but died while the building was still being planned.) in 1991, the entire copper roof was replaced due to the fact the original one was leaking water and causing damage to the interior of the church. The building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.The poster is printed on matte, museum-quality paper with Giclée printing quality:
