About the Item

J. C. Buckler (1793-1894) Queen's College in the High Street Oxford Watercolour 29 x 36 cm Signed to lower right. John Chessell Buckler (1793–1894) was a British architect and artist, renowned for his contributions to Gothic Revival architecture and his detailed architectural drawings. Throughout his career, Buckler did a lot of work in Oxford. He carried out repairs and additions to St Mary's Church, and Oriel, Brasenose, Magdalen, and Jesus colleges. During this period, he was also an extremely prolific artist, creating works characterised by his fastidious attention to detail and strong sense of architectural perspective. Between 1797 and 1830 he created no less than 625 Indian ink and 19 watercolour drawings, many of which are now housed in the Bodeleian libraries. As one of only 19 watercolour paintings produced by Buckler, this painting of Queen's College constitutes a rare opportunity to own such a fine example of Buckler's work. It depicts the façade of Queen's College using strong lines, exemplifying Buckler's strong sense of architectural perspective. Scholars, all dressed in academic robes, also wander down the street, breathing life into this architectural drawing.
