1632 1723 Architect Christopher Cravat Kneller Signatures Wren Thane
EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures Sir Christopher Wren (1632-1723), the esteemed English architect, best known for designing St. Paul's Cathedral in London. The image, created in 1723 by the renowned artist Sir Godfrey Kneller (1646-1723), showcases Wren in his later years, donning a voluminous wig and a cravat adorned with a star. The intricate border, characteristic of Kneller's style, frames the portrait, adding an air of elegance and sophistication. At the bottom left of the print, Sir Christopher Wren has signed his name in a bold, confident hand, adding an authentic touch to the artwork. The year of the portrait's creation, 1723, is also inscribed below his signature. Wren's signature and the date serve as a testament to the historical significance of the artwork and the importance of its subject. Sir Christopher Wren's architectural masterpiece, St. Paul's Cathedral, was completed in 1711, following the Great Fire of London in 1666 that destroyed the previous cathedral. Wren's design for St. Paul's is a stunning example of English Baroque architecture, with its iconic dome and intricate details. The cathedral remains a symbol of London's resilience and a must-visit destination for tourists and history enthusiasts. This portrait of Sir Christopher Wren, captured by the skilled brush of Sir Godfrey Kneller, offers a glimpse into the life of one of history's most influential architects and the era in which he lived. The combination of Wren's signature and the border's intricate design adds to the artwork's historical value and makes it a treasured piece for any collection focused on English history, architecture, or art.
