Painting Description
"Side Elevation of Trinity College Church Edinburgh" is a 19th-century architectural drawing by the Scottish architect John Lessels. The work is a detailed representation of the side view of Trinity College Church, which was originally located on Trinity College Wynd in Edinburgh, Scotland. The church, a significant example of Scottish Gothic architecture, was founded in 1460 by Mary of Gueldres in memory of her husband, King James II of Scotland.
Lessels, who lived from 1809 to 1883, was a prominent architect in Victorian Scotland and served as the Vice President of the Royal Scottish Academy. His drawing of the Trinity College Church is an important historical record, particularly because the church was dismantled in the mid-19th century to make way for railway construction. The church was later partially reconstructed in a different location, incorporating the original stonework.
The drawing showcases Lessels' attention to detail and his commitment to the Gothic Revival architectural style. It would have been used both as a record of the church's original design and possibly as part of the process to preserve its architectural legacy during the relocation. "Side Elevation of Trinity College Church Edinburgh" not only reflects Lessels' skill as an architect and draftsman but also serves as a valuable document in the study of Edinburgh's architectural heritage and the preservation challenges of the period.
This introduction provides a context for the drawing within the scope of John Lessels' career, the history of Trinity College Church, and the broader narrative of architectural conservation in Edinburgh.
