Discover the life and extraordinary craft of Grinling Gibbons (1648–1721), the greatest woodcarver in English history. Famous for his impossibly delicate cascades of flowers, fruit, putti, and architectural ornament, Gibbons transformed interiors across Britain—from St Paul's Cathedral to Hampton Court Palace.
This beautifully illustrated biography explores his early training in the Low Countries, his celebrated “discovery” by diarist John Evelyn, and his rise to become Master Carver to the Crown. Perfect for lovers of art, craftsmanship, and British heritage, it offers an accessible look into the genius whose carvings helped define the English Baroque.
