EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Saint Paul South Showing Spire Ecclesiae Paulinae Prospectus" by Artokoloro takes us back to the year 1657, capturing a moment frozen in time. The etching showcases the magnificent St. Paul's Cathedral in London, with its iconic spire rising high above the city skyline. The artist behind this masterpiece is Wenceslaus Hollar, a Bohemian native who settled in Prague and later moved to London. Hollar's attention to detail is evident as he meticulously depicts every architectural element of the cathedral. The image portrays St. Paul's Cathedral after it was struck by lightning and burned down in 1561. It was reconstructed under the guidance of architect William Dugdale, whose historical account of the cathedral accompanies this print. The plate measures approximately 10 1/4 x 13 13/16 inches (26 x 35.1 cm), making it an impressive work of art that commands attention from any viewer. Artokoloro has beautifully captured this historic moment, allowing us to appreciate both Hollar's artistic talent and the grandeur of St. Paul's Cathedral itself. This print serves as a reminder of how even amidst destruction, beauty can be reborn through human determination and resilience.
