EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Sir Christopher Wren, a renowned English architect and mathematician. Painted by the esteemed artist Sir Godfrey Kneller in 1711, this portrait captures Wren's dignified presence and intellectual prowess. Wren is best remembered for his remarkable reconstruction of St Paul's Cathedral and numerous other churches that were devastated during the Great Fire of London in 1666. In addition to these architectural marvels, Wren's creative genius can be seen in iconic structures such as the Custom House, Temple Bar, Chelsea Hospital, Greenwich Hospital, Royal Observatory Greenwich, and the Ashmolean Museum at Oxford. His contributions have left an indelible mark on England's landscape. The painting itself is held at the National Portrait Gallery in London and was featured in The Connoisseur magazine back in 1926. It portrays Wren with long hair adorned with a wig typical of the eighteenth century. He gazes confidently into the camera while holding dividers—a symbol of his meticulous surveying skills—and stands against a backdrop of rich velvet fabric. This image not only celebrates Sir Christopher Wren's significant achievements but also pays homage to his mathematical expertise and unwavering dedication to his craft. As we admire this portrait today, we are reminded of his lasting impact on architecture and how he shaped England's religious heritage for generations to come.
