Grinling Gibbons: Master Carver
Discover the life and legacy of Grinling Gibbons (1648–1721), England’s unrivalled master carver. Renowned for his astonishingly delicate fruit-and-flower cascades, cherubic figures, and architectural flourishes in wood and stone, Gibbons’ work adorns St Paul’s Cathedral, Hampton Court Palace, and other national treasures. This richly illustrated biography traces his early training in the Low Countries, his “discovery” by John Evelyn in London, and his appointment as the king’s Master Carver—celebrating the genius who transformed humble wood into some of the most exquisite artworks of the Baroque era.
