Painting Description
"Exterior of Pembroke College, Cambridge, from The History of Cambridge" is a notable historical print created by the French-born British draughtsman and architect Augustus Charles Pugin (1762–1832) and engraved by Joseph Constantine Stadler, an engraver active in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The work was published in 1815 as part of "The History of Cambridge," a larger volume by Rudolph Ackermann, a renowned publisher, bookseller, lithographer, and printmaker.
The print depicts a detailed and picturesque view of Pembroke College, one of the constituent colleges of the University of Cambridge in England. Pugin, who is well-known for his architectural drawings and his role in the Gothic Revival movement, captures the college's façade with precision and attention to the Gothic architectural elements that characterize the college's design. His work often emphasized the aesthetic and cultural significance of buildings, and this print is no exception, showcasing the grandeur and historical importance of the college's exterior.
Joseph Constantine Stadler's engraving brings Pugin's drawing to life, highlighting the intricate details and the play of light and shadow that give the image depth and realism. Stadler was known for his aquatint engravings, a technique that allowed for the creation of prints with rich tonal variations, resembling watercolor paintings.
Published by R. Ackermann in his 1815 collection, the print is part of a series that aimed to document and celebrate the architectural heritage of one of the world's oldest and most prestigious universities. "The History of Cambridge" served not only as a record of the university's architectural landscape at the time but also as a work of art that appealed to the tastes of the Regency era's educated elite.
Today, "Exterior of Pembroke College, Cambridge, from The History of Cambridge" is of interest to historians, art collectors, and enthusiasts of early 19th-century British art and architecture. It provides a valuable visual record of Pembroke College as it appeared in the early 1800s and reflects the broader cultural and artistic trends of the period.
