EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Study for St. Luke's Hospital, from Microcosm of London, c. 1809" takes us on a journey back to the bustling city streets of 19th century England. Created by the talented artist Augustus Charles Pugin, this architectural masterpiece showcases his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the essence of urban life. The image transports us to Moorfields in the City of London, where St. Luke's Hospital stands tall amidst a sea of buildings. The pen and ink drawing beautifully depicts the hospital's grand entrance, with its intricate design and imposing presence commanding our attention. As we explore further into the artwork, we notice background figures that add depth and realism to the scene - men and women going about their daily lives in this vibrant metropolis. Their presence reminds us that behind these magnificent structures lies a thriving community. Pugin's use of color adds another layer of intrigue to this piece; subtle hints bring life to an otherwise monochromatic landscape. The watercolor touches enhance certain elements while maintaining a sense of historical authenticity. This study is part of Pugin's larger project called "Microcosm of London" which aimed at capturing various aspects of city life during that era through detailed sketches and drawings like this one. Displayed proudly at the Art Institute Chicago, this print serves as both an artistic marvel and a valuable historical document showcasing Britain's rich architectural heritage.
