EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enchanting Temple Church in the heart of London, as it stood proudly in 1720. The church's circular structure is beautifully showcased, adorned with intricate images that add a touch of mystique to its facade. Atop this architectural marvel, we can see three striking figures: a majestic winged horse, symbolizing power and freedom; the Agnus Dei, or Lamb of God, representing purity and sacrifice; and an intriguing depiction of the London Stone, shrouded in historical significance. Dating back to the 12th century but captured here during the 18th century, this image offers us a glimpse into both medieval and more recent times. As we admire this monochrome masterpiece from Guildhall Library and Art Gallery's collection, we are transported to an era when knights Templar once worshipped within these hallowed walls. The Temple Church stands as a testament to Britain's rich Christian heritage and serves as a reminder of its enduring cultural legacy. Its location in the City of London adds another layer of charm to this already captivating scene. This print is not just an anonymous work; it represents centuries-old history frozen in time. It invites us to appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also sparks our curiosity about the stories hidden within those ancient stones. Let us cherish this remarkable piece without mentioning any commercial use – for it truly deserves our admiration solely for its artistic value.
