EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Design for St Thomass Church" by John Dobson, a renowned British architect of the 19th century. Created around 1826, this watercolor on paper artwork measures an impressive 63x93.5 cm and is currently housed in the Laing Art Gallery in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK. The design depicted here was specifically created for St. Thomass church at Barras Bridge as a replacement for the medieval chapel of St. Thomas the Martyr on the Quayside. The original chapel had to be demolished to accommodate the widening of the entrance of the Tyne Bridge. Dobson's Gothic scheme, inspired by Early English architecture, was ultimately chosen among other submissions from his contemporary John Green. This neo-Gothic masterpiece perfectly embodies elements of urban development and romanticism prevalent during that era. With its towering presence and intricate details, this architectural gem stands as a testament to England's rich heritage and Georgian influence. The Gothic Revival movement gained popularity during this period, making Dobson's design both timely and iconic. This stunning piece not only captures Dobson's artistic prowess but also serves as a visual representation of Britain's architectural legacy during the Regency era. Its Victorian Gothic charm continues to inspire art enthusiasts worldwide while preserving history through its meticulous depiction of quayside life in Newcastle.
