Master Carver Grinling Gibbons (16481721) is famous for his breathtakingly delicate, intricate and realistic carvings, both in wood and stone. Tantalising cascades of fruit and flowers, puffy-cheeked cherubs, crowds of figures and flourishes of architecture are all trademark features of his energetic, animated carvings that grace stately homes, palaces, churches and colleges across the country. His work can be found in some of Britains most beloved buildings, including St Pauls Cathedral and Hampton Court Palace. From his early work in the Low Countries to his discovery by the diarist John Evelyn in London, and his appointment as the kings Master Carver, this book celebrates Grinling Gibbons unequalled talent, his visionary genius, and his ability to transform humble pieces of wood into some of the most exquisite artworks of his day.
