This rendering of alterations to the chancel at Trinity Church, in Copley Square, is beautifully detailed. The chancel, or the space around the altar, is the focal piece. Jesus overlooks a precipice of ornate pews and altars. Latin is inscribed on the wall, and carefully painted lambs and other biblical figures grace the walls.
