"The Gargoyle" is a notable etching by the American artist John Taylor Arms, created in 1920. Arms, renowned for his intricate and highly detailed prints, was a leading figure in the American etching revival of the early 20th century. His works often focused on architectural subjects, capturing the grandeur and complexity of Gothic cathedrals and other historic structures with remarkable precision.

This particular etching, "The Gargoyle," exemplifies Arms' fascination with Gothic architecture and his technical prowess in printmaking. The piece depicts a gargoyle, a grotesque carved figure often found on medieval buildings, particularly cathedrals, where they serve both decorative and functional purposes, such as acting as waterspouts to direct rainwater away from the building's walls. Arms' rendering of the gargoyle is meticulous, showcasing his ability to convey texture, depth, and the intricate details of the stone carving.

Arms' background in architecture, having studied at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, significantly influenced his artistic approach. His etchings are celebrated for their architectural accuracy and the way they capture the spirit and intricacies of the buildings he depicted. "The Gargoyle" is no exception, highlighting his skill in combining artistic expression with technical detail.

The etching is part of a larger body of work by Arms that explores the beauty and complexity of Gothic architecture. His prints were highly regarded during his lifetime and continue to be appreciated for their artistic and historical significance. "The Gargoyle" stands as a testament to Arms' dedication to his craft and his ability to bring the ancient and often overlooked details of architecture to life through his art.
