1586 1647 Architect Nicholas Sculptor Younger
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the intergenerational bond between renowned English sculptor and architect, Nicholas Stone the Elder (1586-1647), and his talented young son, Nicholas Stone the Younger (exact birth date unknown but believed to be born around 1618). The photograph, dated circa 1630, offers a rare glimpse into the family dynamic of this influential artistic duo during the early modern period. Nicholas Stone the Elder rose to prominence in the late 16th and early 17th centuries, working on various prestigious projects for the English monarchy, including the tomb of Queen Anne Boleyn in Westminster Abbey and the monument for Queen Elizabeth I in Windsor Castle. His innovative blend of classical motifs with contemporary design elements set new standards for English sculpture and architecture. Nicholas Stone the Younger, who began his training under his father's tutelage, would eventually follow in his father's footsteps and make a name for himself as a skilled sculptor and architect. He is best known for his work on the monument to King James I and Queen Anne of Denmark in Westminster Abbey, which showcases the younger Stone's mastery of intricate detail and delicate craftsmanship. The father-son duo's collaboration extended beyond the realm of artistic creation, as they often worked together on projects, with the elder Stone overseeing the larger architectural aspects and the younger Stone contributing his sculptural expertise. Their close working relationship is evident in this photograph, as they are depicted in a warm, affectionate embrace, highlighting the deep bond between them. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the rich artistic legacy that was passed down through the generations, as well as the enduring bond between a father and his talented son.
