EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Sir Christopher Wren, the renowned English architect of the 17th and 18th century. Created by B Cole, this portrait showcases Wren holding his drawing instruments and plans for St Paul's Cathedral, one of his most famous works. The image below depicts a representation of the cathedral itself. Wren was not only an architect but also a designer, astronomer, and geometrician. His notable contributions to architecture include the Custom House, Temple Bar, Chelsea Hospital, Greenwich Hospital, Royal Observatory Greenwich, and the Ashmolean Museum at Oxford. However, he is best remembered for his remarkable reconstruction of St Paul's Cathedral after it was destroyed in the Great Fire of London in 1666. In this portrait captured during the mid-18th century (a time when Wren had already passed away), we see a man who epitomizes intellect and creativity. With his distinctive hairstyle reflecting the fashion of that era, Wren exudes confidence as he holds onto his mathematical instruments - compasses and dividers - symbolizing precision in design. Sir Christopher Wren's legacy extends far beyond architectural achievements; he made significant contributions to mathematics and physics as well. This photograph serves as a reminder of his immense talent and enduring impact on British architecture.
