EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning etching and hand-colored watercolor print depicts a breathtaking view of St. Paul's Cathedral in London from the northwest side, as seen between the late 1720s and 1758. The creation of this artwork is attributed to the skilled hand of Nicolas Jean Baptiste Poilly (1696-1761), a French artist who spent a significant portion of his career in the Netherlands. Poilly's mastery of the Baroque style is evident in the intricate details and vibrant colors employed in this piece. The Cathedral, designed by Sir Christopher Wren (1632-1723), is prominently featured in the image, its iconic dome rising majestically against the London skyline. To the left of the Cathedral, a statue of Queen Anne (1665-1714) can be seen, adding a regal touch to the scene. The railings and balustrades that line the foreground provide a sense of depth and texture, while the inclusion of the Thames River in the background serves to further emphasize the grandeur of the city's architectural heritage. This artwork offers a glimpse into the rich history and cultural significance of London during the 18th century, a time when the city was a major tourist attraction for travelers from across Europe. Today, St. Paul's Cathedral remains a beloved landmark and a testament to the enduring beauty and influence of Baroque architecture.
