    • John Crowther,  View of the Nightingale Memorial, Westminster Abbey 
      Mar. 12, 2025

      John Crowther,  View of the Nightingale Memorial, Westminster Abbey 

      Est: £200 - £300

      John Crowther,  British fl.1876-1898-  View of the Nightingale Memorial, Westminster Abbey;  pencil and watercolour heightened with white on paper laid down on card, signed 'J. Crowther' (lower left), 44.1 x 31 cm. (unframed / mounted).  Provenance:  Collection of Peter Jackson, UK.  Private Collection, UK.  Note:  This monument is one of the most dramatic in Westminster Abbey and was designed by the French sculptor Louis-Francois Roubiliac (1702-1762). It commemorates Lady Elizabeth Nightingale (1704-1731) and her husband Joseph Gascoigne (1695-1752) who are buried in a vault in the north ambulatory nearby. The sculpture depicts a skeleton of Death emerging from his prison to aim his deadly dart at the dying figure of Elizabeth above. She is held up by her husband who, in horror, tries to ward off the stroke of death. The idea for this image may have come from a dream that Elizabeth's brother in law (the Earl of Huntingdon) had experienced when a skeleton had appeared at the foot of his bed, which then crept up under the bedclothes between husband and wife. The famous American writer, Washington Irving, declared it 'among the most renowned achievements of modern art'. It is said that one night a robber broke into the Church but was so horrified at seeing the figure of Death in the moonlight that he dropped his crowbar and fled in terror. The crowbar was displayed for many years beside the monument.
