Alphege, an English prelate and Archbishop of Canterbury from 1006, met a tragic end in AD 1012 when he was captured by the Danes. This historic event is depicted in various artworks, including the lithograph "Martyrdom of Alphege," which shows Alphege being brought before his Danish captors. Fast forward to the 19th and early 20th centuries, and we find images of St. Alphege's Church in Greenwich and the iconic St. Paul's Cathedral in London, both named in his honor. Meanwhile, Big Ben and the Palace of Westminster stand tall in the background of a London scene, a testament to the city's enduring strength and resilience. Artistically, James Alphege Brewer captured the beauty of St. Paul's Cathedral in the morning, adding to the rich visual history of this revered saint and his lasting impact on England.
