[37639] St Margaret Pattens : Lord Mayor of London
St Margaret Pattens, Rood Lane, London EC3, 1684-87.
By Sir Christopher Wren (1632-1723).
Grade l listed.
Memorial to Sir Peter Delme, Lord Mayor of London in 1723 (d1728).
By John Michael Rysbrack (1694-1770), 1740.
John Michael Rysbrack was born in Antwerp, and trained in the Netherlands, but spent his working life in Britain. He was one of the most important sculptors active in this country in the first half of the 18th century, and specialised in portrait busts and funerary monuments. Although he never visited Italy, many of his works are clearly indebted to classical archetypes.
