EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Sheldonian Theatre in Oxford, as depicted in the renowned Oxonia Illustrata publication of 1675. The engraving, created by David Loggan, captures the grandeur and architectural brilliance of this iconic structure. Built between 1664 and 1668 by Sir Christopher Wren, with generous donations from Gilbert Sheldon, Chancellor of the University of Oxford, the Sheldonian Theatre stands as a testament to their vision and commitment to academia. Serving as a venue for important university meetings and ceremonies, it holds immense historical significance. The photograph highlights various notable features such as its circular shape, elegant railings surrounding it, and an ornate cartouche adorning its facade. Additionally, portrait busts can be seen on display within niches while horses pull a majestic coach nearby. The image transports viewers back in time to an era when dons strolled through these hallowed halls discussing matters of great intellectual importance. It evokes a sense of awe at both the architectural prowess displayed in constructing such a masterpiece and the rich history that has unfolded within its walls. This particular print is part of The Stapleton Collection held privately but made available for public appreciation through Fine Art Finder's collaboration with Bridgeman Images. Its inclusion here allows us to marvel at this extraordinary piece of artistry that continues to inspire generations with its timeless beauty.
