Chapel of the Holy Cross in Canvas
The Chapel of the Holy Cross sits high atop the red rocks of Sedona in Arizona. The chapel was commissioned by local rancher and sculptor Marguerite Brunswig Staude. After an attempt to build it in Budapest, Hungary (with the help of Lloyd Wright, son of architect Frank Lloyd Wright) which was aborted due to the outbreak of World War II, she decided to build the church in Sedona. Richard Hein was chosen as project architect, and the design was executed by architect August K. Strotz, both from the firm of Anshen & Allen. The chapel is built on Coconino National Forest land; the late Senator Barry Goldwater assisted Staude in obtaining a special-use permit. The construction supervisor was Fred Courkos, who built the chapel in 18 months at a cost of US$300,000. The chapel was completed in 1956. This canvas with high quality print will always look as tight and flat as the day they were made. Every frame is built with a solid face to support the canvas and prevent deforming. .: 100% Cot
