EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Monument to Dr John Yonge, created by the skilled hands of sculptor Pietro Torrigiano in 1800. Located in Rolls Chapel, Chancery Lane, City of London, this stunning piece of art is a testament to both the talent of its creator and the significance of Dr John Yonge himself. Dr John Yonge was not only an esteemed ecclesiastic but also a distinguished diplomatist who held the prestigious position of Master of the Rolls from 1507 until his passing in 1516. This memorial serves as a lasting tribute to his contributions and achievements during his lifetime. The photograph captures the intricate details and craftsmanship that went into creating this masterpiece. The effigy depicts Dr John Yonge lying peacefully on his tomb, adorned with religious symbols that reflect his devout Christian faith. The color and composition add depth and richness to this already impressive sculpture. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to witness a blend of sixteenth-century Tudor architecture combined with nineteenth-century aesthetics. It is within these walls that history resides; where religion meets diplomacy; where art intertwines with legacy. Preserved within Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this print allows us to appreciate not only Torrigiano's skill but also serves as a reminder of Dr John Yonge's enduring impact on British society.
