Grinling Gibbons, a name that resonates with the art world and history enthusiasts alike. Known for his exquisite wood carvings, Grinling Gibbons left an indelible mark on the artistic landscape of his time. Born in 1648, this talented artist captured the attention of many prominent figures, including Evelyn. Their connection was so strong that Society News featured their friendship in Tatler 1928, and is no wonder that Mr and Mrs Gibbons became subjects of admiration and inspiration for artists like John Smith, who immortalized them through mezzotint engravings. One cannot discuss Grinling Gibbons without mentioning some of his most renowned works. The Portrait Gibbons from 1690 by John Smith showcases the artist's captivating gaze and undeniable talent. Another masterpiece is The Christening in the Chapel, painted in 1844 by an unknown creator but featuring Gibbons' intricate carvings. Gibbons' legacy extends beyond paintings; it encompasses sculptures as well. Glimpses into his genius can be seen in G. Gibbons (1648-1721), a work created by an anonymous artist in 1830 or Grinling Gibbons from the late 17th century portrayed by John Baptist de Medina in 1930. His craftsmanship also graced notable locations such as St. Magnus Looking West during the mid to late 19th century or even Windsor Castle's Throne Room depicted in Berkshire back in 1894. The vestry of St. Lawrence Jewry stands as a testament to his skillful hands with its stunning carving done by none other than Grinling Gibbons himself back in 1903. Even Trinity College's library at Cambridge couldn't escape his influence; James Sargant Storer and Henry Sargant Storer beautifully captured its grandeur around c1820 with traces of Grinling's work. Grinling Gibbons' collaboration with Chambar also deserves recognition.
