Description: | Lawrence Wright's dramatic watercolour of St Paul's Cathedral from the southeast depicts a landscape strewn with rubble. He provides a stark reminder of the devastating effect of German bombing during the Blitz.
Wright was a painter, etcher, architect and writer on buildings and environments. This drawing demonstrates his skill at depicting architectural subjects.
Born in Bristol, Wright studied at the Liverpool School of Architecture in the late 1920s. Before completing his studies, Wright began to exhibit, going on to show at London's Royal Academy and Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | Mrs Patricia Crick and Dr John Wright | Subjects: | London at War Cityscape Art and Design | Temporal: | 1948 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
