Andrew Ingamells
Downing College
Engraving
40 x 63 cm
Signed to lower right and numbered 86/175
This meticulously detailed gravure etching by Andrew Ingamells is the first etching or engraving to depict Downing College Cambridge from an aerial perspective since David Loggan’s celebrated engraving of the 1680s. As well as a general aerial view of the college, it also features an intriguing bird’s eye view of the whole grounds and architectural thumbnails of each of the college’s notable buildings including the boat house, Singer building and the Senior Combination Room.
Ingamells trained at St Albans School of Art and the London College of Printing, subsequently working as a graphic designer and illustrator. Based in London, he began making drawings of the buildings and landscapes of London.
Ingamells’ work is in many public collections including those of the Tate Gallery, The National Trust, The Paul Mellon Centre for British Art, and the City of London Guildhall Library. His pictures are also in several private collections, including those of various Oxford and Cambridge colleges, HRH King Charles III, and Shell Oil. The artist is currently part-way through his epic project to record all the colleges of Oxford and Cambridge, a project undertaken in homage to David Loggan.
Condition: Generally very good.
