EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching, created by George Bickham III in 1752, presents a poignant view of the Monument erected in memory of the Great Fire of London in 1666. The fire, which ravaged the city for four days, destroyed over 13,000 houses and left an estimated 100,000 people homeless. The Monument, designed by Christopher Wren and Robert Hooke, stands at 61 meters tall and was the tallest building in London until the completion of St. Mary-le-Wigford Church steeple in 1842. Bickham's etching masterfully captures the essence of the Monument and its surrounding cityscape. The intricate details of the Doric columns and the ornate capital adorned with cherubs and other decorative elements are rendered with exceptional precision. The Monument is flanked by horse-drawn vehicles and people of all ages, adding a sense of activity and daily life to the scene. The artist, George Bickham III, was a prominent engraver and printmaker in 18th century Britain. His works often depicted architectural landmarks and cityscapes, showcasing his exceptional skill in capturing the intricacies of his subjects. This etching, in particular, offers a unique perspective of the Monument and its historical significance, making it a valuable addition to any collection of British heritage art. The image is reminiscent of the works of Antonio Canaletto and Giovanni Antonio Canal, the famous Venetian painters known for their meticulous depictions of urban landscapes. The use of color and shading adds depth and dimension to the print, making it a stunning visual representation of London's rich history and resilience in the face of adversity.
