Richmond chose to abandon the flat surface of mosaicists like Salviati, in favour of a more vibrant treatment, based on the use of jagged, irregular glass, set at angles to the plaster, so that it would catch the light. He chose this approach after studying Byzantine and early Christian work in Ravenna, Monreale and Rome. — Explore St. Paul's Cathedral
