EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases the renowned wood carver Grinling Gibbons, captured by the skilled hand of Sir Gotfrey Kneller before 1690. The painting, housed in the esteemed State Hermitage collection in St. Petersburg, Russia, is a testament to both Gibbons' artistry and Kneller's talent as a painter. Grinling Gibbons, born in 1648 and passing away in 1721, was widely regarded as one of the greatest wood carvers of his time. His intricate and lifelike creations adorned numerous prestigious buildings across England during the late 17th century. This portrait captures him at an unknown point early in his career when he was already gaining recognition for his exceptional craftsmanship. Sir Gotfrey Kneller masterfully portrays Gibbons with great attention to detail and nuance. The oil on canvas technique brings out every subtle stroke of color and texture on both subject and background. Through this artwork, we catch a glimpse into Gibbons' personality - his focused gaze reflects determination while his poised posture exudes confidence. The significance of this piece lies not only in its artistic merit but also its historical value. It serves as a window into the world of wood carving during that era and immortalizes one of its most influential figures.
