Wren
churches are utterly unspiritual, utterly Protestant and yet I am very
fond of them and not only because of their beauty. They are, sadly, very
English.
When I was twenty I much preferred Gothic to baroque - now the other way around.
In the National Gallery:
Gainsborough's landscapes sometimes approach the level of Edward Ardizzone.
Tiepolo - there are no words.

But St Paul's Cathedral was criticised for its baroque and therefore continental and Catholic design.
