Description
Excerpt from Grinling Gibbons and the Woodwork of His Age: 1648-1720
I have made an attempt to differentiate the former from the latter, and also to give a critical estimate of the position of Grinling Gibbons both as a designer and a sculptor. I have also considered the sources of his own inspiration and the extent of his influence over his con temporaries, while the very little that can be discovered of the personal history of himself and of his collaborators in the craft has been brought together with an effort - not wholly unsuccessful, I trust - to separate fact from fiction.
