Description: | Wendy Hodge's oil painting provides a dramatic, almost mystical view of the City of London. Hodge depicts a diverse Cityscape experiencing constant change through construction and redevelopment.
Law firm Clifford Chance commissioned the painting. The view looks south towards St Paul's Cathedral and the River Thames from the firm's Aldersgate Street office building. The Museum of London's atrium is visible in the left foreground.
By the late 1990s, Clifford Chance had grown too large for its Aldersgate headquarters. In 2000, the firm consolidated all its operations and 3,000 London staff under one roof at a new Canary Wharf building in London's docklands. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | Wendy Hodge | Subjects: | Cityscape Art and Design | Temporal: | 1991 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
