EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic Spa Fields Chapel in Exmouth Street, Finsbury, London, as it stood in 1886. Painted by the talented artist John Crowther, this artwork offers a glimpse into the architectural beauty of one of over 60 Calvinistic Methodist chapels established by Selina Hastings, Countess of Huntingdon, during the 18th century. The chapel's location adjacent to her own residence adds an intriguing historical context. The image showcases a view of the chapel from Yardley Street and highlights its remarkable features. The dome crowning the building stands tall against a picturesque backdrop of an avenue lined with charming British buildings. A cart parked outside suggests bustling activity on this vibrant street. With its striking portico and elegant exterior design, Spa Fields Chapel exudes a sense of grandeur that befits its religious significance. This place holds deep meaning for Christians who sought solace and spiritual guidance within its walls. John Crowther's watercolour painting beautifully captures both the color and detail of this architectural gem in Finsbury. It serves as a testament to his skill as an artist and provides us with a window into London's rich religious history during the 19th century. Displayed at Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this print transports viewers back in time to experience not only the physical beauty but also feel the spiritual aura that once permeated through these hallowed grounds.
