St Paul's Cathedral by Eve Kirk, oil on canvas

Fine Art, In Storage, FA01535

This is one of several paintings Eve Kirk made of London’s wartime ruins and of St Paul’s Cathedral when, during the Blitz, she worked as an Air Raid Precautions warden while continuing to practise as a painter. She probably made this painting in 1941 in the aftermath of the 'Second Great Fire of London', when from 29-30 December 1940 the Cathedral and its environs were struck by 28 incendiary bombs.
