À propos de l’œuvre
This design was made by A.W.N. Pugin for C.R. Scott-Murray, Danesfield, Berkshire.
Crace exhibited a prie-dieu with a triptych above it in the Medieval Court at the Great Exhibition of 1851. It is likely that these designs were for the same object. If so at some point this triptych was sold by Mr C. Scott Murray to one of the Scarisbrick family.
Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin (1812-52) is widely considered as one of the most significant and influential architects, designers and theorists of the 19th century. Following his conversion to Catholicism in 1835, he identified the Gothic style with Christian architecture and his work and writings inspired and framed the Gothic Revival. In 'Contrasts', published in 1836, he condemned classical forms and ardently praised 14th and 15th-century architecture. Pugin is best remembered for his work on the Palace of Westminster.
