Max printed the altar piece, the image of which was supplied by the Courthauld Institute, directly on to Foamex board which is lightweight for use but very strong. The image was then cut out to replicate the original 14th century Altar piece, for Priory Church of St Bartholomew the Great, West Smithfield, London.
Saint Bartholomew the Great is one of London's oldest churches. Founded in 1123 as an Augustinian Priory, built when Henry I, son of William the Conqueror, was King. It survived the Great Fire of 1666 and both World Wars unscathed. Today the Church, which is well worth a visit, has appeared in numerous films including Four Weddings and a Funeral, Shakespeare in Love, Amazing Grace,Elizabeth: The Golden Age, and The Other Boleyn Girl, as well as in numerous television programmes, including The Hollow Crown.
