In St. Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna in the time of the coronavirus pandemic. On the left you can see its famous stone pulpit, "a masterwork of late Gothic sculpture.

In St. Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna
The mixture of artificial light and rests of natural light in the twilight hour of a late November afternoon has a fascinating attractiveness. This is just a try to depict it.
St. Stephen's Cathedral (more commonly known by its German title: Stephansdom) is the mother church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Vienna and the seat of the Archbishop of Vienna. The current Romanesque and Gothic form of the cathedral, seen today in the Stephansplatz, was largely initiated by Duke Rudolf IV (1339–1365) and stands on the ruins of two earlier churches, the first a parish church consecrated in 1147. The most important religious building in Vienna, St. Stephen's Cathedral has borne witness to many important events in Habsburg and Austrian history and has, with its multi-coloured tile roof, become one of the city's most recognizable symbols.

Der Stephansdom am Wiener Stephansplatz (Bezirk Innere Stadt) ist seit 1365 Domkirche (Sitz eines Domkapitels), seit 1469/1479 Kathedrale (Bischofssitz) und seit 1723 Metropolitankirche des Erzbischofs von Wien.
Der von den Wienern kurz Steffl genannte römisch-katholische Dom gilt als Wahrzeichen Wiens und wird mitunter auch als österreichisches Nationalheiligtum bezeichnet. Namensgeber ist der heilige Stephanus, der als erster christlicher Märtyrer gilt. Das zweite Patrozinium ist Allerheiligen.
Leider ist diese Kathedrale bei Touristen sehr beliebt. Man geht fast über die Menschen hinweg, und von einer gelassenen Ruhe in der Kirche ist nichts mehr zu spüren.
In the time of the coronavirus pandemic the Viennese have this tourist hotspot to themselves. The gentleman seems to be very much interested in Erwin Wurm's hot-water bottle called 'Big Mutter'.
