EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, captured in 1648, offers a rare glimpse into the workshop of the renowned English woodcarver and sculptor, Grinling Gibbons, as he is about to be discovered by the esteemed diarist and author, John Evelyn. Gibbons, dressed in shirt sleeves and deeply focused on his craft, wields a hammer and chisel with precision and finesse, while his tools and intricately carved wooden masterpieces surround him. The door, slightly ajar, reveals Evelyn peering in, intrigued by the sight of the master artist at work. Grinling Gibbons (1648-1721) was a leading figure in the English Baroque movement, known for his exquisite woodcarvings and sculptures that graced the interiors of numerous grand English country houses and churches. His intricate designs, characterized by their delicate detail and lifelike naturalism, were highly sought after by the aristocracy and royalty of the time. John Evelyn (1627-1706), a contemporary of Gibbons, was a prolific diarist, horticulturist, and literary figure. He documented the visit to Gibbons' workshop in his diary, providing valuable insights into the artist's creative process and the working conditions of a master craftsman in 17th-century England. This photograph, taken from an original engraving published in 1721, offers a fascinating window into the past, revealing the dedication, skill, and artistry of one of England's greatest woodcarvers and the curiosity of a renowned diarist and intellectual. The tools of the trade, the wooden carvings, and the focused expression of both Gibbons and Evelyn, all contribute to the captivating narrative of this historical moment.
