I didn't realize how large it was until I saw him standing by it, and then I was like, "WHATTHE-It's HUGE!" I was expecting a small thing, not something taller than a person.
Keeping them happy was probably more of a challenge than building it. Those people work themselves into positions of power and usually love it too much.
They didn't really work their way into those positions but rather were born into them. The exception may have been the clergy but even then, many were pushed towards joining their ranks.
Wren had a lot of problems pleasing the clergy. When they saw this model their first reaction was "this is too close to Rome for comfort" and "more Saint Peter's than Saint Paul's". The anti Catholic attitude was there in the late 1600s, with England a protestant state. The clergy preferred the traditional long nave leading to a quire and high altar, like Westminster Abbey.
@@gabriellima7900 Well yes, considering cathedrals were built before the reformation. Saint Columb's Cathedral in Derry, Northern Ireland was the first protestant cathedral to be built in 1633. The Church of England got used to the design of these older cathedrals. All that was done to change them was to remove tabernacles and statues, and to have ceremonies in English. The Church of England around the time of Wren was a much more anti Catholic church which didn't want to recreate anything "too close to Rome or too popish". This attitude would soften by the late Victorian era, when Catholic style of worship gradually crept into the Church of England. In fact today St Paul's Cathedral is very "high church" in it's form of worship, with incense often used for Christmas, Holy Week etc
@@johnking5174 Yeah, but my point is that the Medieval Cathedral style is more Catholic than the Renaissance ones, which are actually inspired by ancient Greek and Roman architecture.
@@gabriellima7900 The thing is, basically, as far as the Church of England is concerned, they are the true line, so to speak. They feel that they didn't break off with Rome, it was Rome who broke off with the original church, or something along that line... as far as they're concerned, they're just returning to the roots... Also, Wren's design was in the Baroque style, which is the art and architecture that developed by the Catholic Church as part of their Counter-Reformation effort. Hence they criticize it for being too "Popish", etc. as the very style was built to counter the Protestant Churches...
Models of this scale were also made during the Renaissance era in Italy. You can‘t stand in them. You can stick your head in from undernearh, to have a realistic impression of what it would look like.
Looking at the model and looking at the approved design picture I’m guessing Wren just went ahead and built the model. As the model looks closer to today’s cathedral than what was approved.
Wren basicaIIy remade the profiIe, mamaged to get the approavaI and then during buiId semi-quietIy came back to the originaI best design. Iiving with bIoody poIitians and Iiers = becoming one of them. Sad worId, especiaIIy worId of fIippin British poIitics, at aII times.
Shaim they removed the conductors from all these buildings meaning they could charge for electric sinse they had removed the free energy these buildings would provide Domes on top of old buildings eveywhere with romoved parts
That is SO much bigger than I expected

Nothing bloody changes, eh?

Ironically, that was a Catholic design too.

❤
Very interesting video. Solid oak, wow. ❤❤❤❤

Is my 3d printed model still next to it? 🤔

That’s what I thought. He got something else approved and then just went ahead and built close to the model.
I cannot be the only one that thought that was the congress building at first
The title makes it clear what the model is of, so why would you think it isn't St. Paul's?
Is it bad if I prefer the Warrant design? 😅
Not at all, no need for confession.
There’s far more genuine beautiful models that are used regularly in the world.
Nothing new here. If you have images of the current cathedral model (I know there is one) I'd be interested
Our wonderful English heritage that Just Stop Oil will probably vandalise
English were so many years ahead of everybody else :D
The decadence of the church is infuriating and people mindlessly gushing makes it so much worse
Tartarian
terrible that this thing will be made into fire wood once England is majority muslim
