EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the historical connection between the home and grave of renowned English sculptor and artist, John Flaxman (1755-1825). The photograph depicts Flaxman's former residence, located at No. 24, Buckingham Street in London, during the year 1826. At the time of Flaxman's occupancy, this elegant townhouse was a hub of artistic creativity and intellectual discourse. Flaxman's home was a gathering place for many prominent figures of the Romantic era, including Sir Joshua Reynolds, Edmund Burke, and William Wordsworth. The photograph also reveals the tranquil and historic St. Giles in the Fields churchyard, where Flaxman's tomb now lies. The graveyard, located in the heart of London, holds the final resting place of numerous notable figures from the city's history, including the poet John Keats and the painter Thomas Hogarth. Flaxman's tomb, with its simple yet elegant design, stands as a testament to the artist's enduring legacy. Flaxman's life and work were deeply intertwined with the history of London and the broader artistic and intellectual landscape of his time. His contributions to the fields of sculpture and engraving helped to define the Romantic era, and his influence can still be felt in the art world today. This poignant photograph serves as a reminder of the rich history that connects Flaxman's former home and his final resting place in the heart of London.
