Exton, Rutland: monument by Grinling Gibbons, 1686
Signed, proof aside from the edition of 70.
The artist created these lithographs between the autumn of 1963 and the autumn of 1964. They have been printed from stone at The Curwen Studio, London, under the supervision of Stanley Jones.
Grinling Gibbons’ monument to Viscount Campden (and his four wives and nineteen children, commissioned in 1683) is among the more magnificent installations in nearby Exton Church, Rutland, chock full as it is with stone carvings dating some 700 years back to the parish’s foundation. Piper’s lithographic rendition of the monument is typical of his idiosyncratic approach, weathering this otherwise finely marbled memorial with the chalky textures of time.
