EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the moment of collaboration and determination between Sir Christopher Wren (1632-1723), the renowned English architect, and King Charles II as they examine Wren's plans for rebuilding the City of London after the devastating Great Fire of 1666. The fire, which ravaged the city for four days, destroyed over 13,000 homes and left hundreds of thousands of Londoners homeless. Wren, wearing a classic 17th-century wig, confidently presents his designs to the monarch, who listens intently. The intricate border of the print frames the scene with a depiction of St. Paul's Cathedral, which Wren would go on to rebuild in the Baroque style. The cathedral, a symbol of London's resilience and hope, stands proudly in the background, undergoing construction. The meeting between Wren and Charles II marked the beginning of a remarkable period of architectural innovation and urban renewal in London. Wren's designs for the city's new buildings, including St. Paul's Cathedral, the Monument to the Great Fire, and the Royal Hospital for Seamen, would forever change the face of the city. This photographic print, with its intricate detail and historical significance, offers a glimpse into the rich history of London's architectural past and the pivotal role played by Sir Christopher Wren in shaping its future.
