約翰·巴克勒
以素描記錄歷史教堂建築
約翰·巴克勒(英國古物學會高級會員)是一位英國藝術家兼偶爾從事建築工作的建築師,他因繪製了大量教堂及其他歷史建築的畫作而最為人銘記,這些畫作記錄了許多此後被改建或摧毀的建築。 Buckler was born in Calbourne, Isle of Wight. At the age of 15 he became clerk to the steward of Magdalen College, Oxford and began a lifelong involvement in the management of the college's London estates. After several years working on plans for new buildings, around 1801 he became bailiff and collector of rents for Magdalen College in Freeman's Court, London, and in Southwark, and held this post until his retirement in 1849. The work for the college allowed him ample free time, and he also practised as an architect until 1830, designing buildings such as Halkyn Castle, Flint (1822–27) for Robert Grosvenor, 2nd Earl Grosvenor (later created Marquess of Westminster) the tower of the church in Theale, Berkshire (1827–28). Glastonbury Priory, also called Abbey House, Somerset (1829–30) for J.F. Reeves, and Poll Park, Denbighshire (c. 1828), for William Bagot, 2nd Baron Bagot, "an early essay in the half-timbered style", according to Howard Colvin, who suggested that Buckler had a hand in the Gothic remodelling of Blithfield Hall, Staffordshire, for Lord Bagot, 1822–23. He or his son also designed the church of St John the Baptist, Pentrobin (now Penymynydd), in the County of Flintshire, 1843, for Sir Stephen Glynne, as one of the first Gothic Revival churches that came out of the Cambridge Camden Society. 巴克勒對藝術的興趣是逐漸發展起來的,他最早出版的作品是1797年兩幅莫德林學院的凹版腐蝕畫。1799年,他又推出了一幅林肯大教堂的版畫;這是系列作品中的第一幅,到1814年該系列涵蓋了英格蘭所有的大教堂,以及許多學院教堂和教區教堂。1800年後不久,他受斯托爾黑德的理查德·科爾特·霍爾委託,繪製了十卷威爾特郡的教堂及其他歷史建築的圖紙,巴克勒的孫子稱這一委託「決定了他投身古物研究的志向」。隨後,他又收到其他古物愛好者的類似委託,例如斯塔福德郡的威廉·索爾特。據他自己所述,到他去世時,巴克勒已繪製了約13,000幅建築圖紙。巴克勒繪制的許多建築此前未被記錄,其中許多後來被拆除或大幅改建,因此他的作品如今成為研究英國建築史的寶貴資料。從1798年到1849年,他的作品每年都在皇家藝術學院展出,並於1810年成為倫敦古物學家學會的會員。 約翰·巴克勒於1851年在倫敦紐因頓去世,距其退休兩年。他的素描作品共四十二卷,現藏於大英圖書館;其他收藏其作品的機構包括位於迪韋齊斯的威爾特郡博物館、湯頓博物館、斯塔福德的威廉·索爾特圖書館以及牛津的博德利圖書館。 他的長子約翰·切塞爾·巴克勒(1793–1894)也是一位建築師和藝術家,撰寫了多部關於英國建築史的插圖著作;他的幼子喬治·巴克勒(1811–1886)以及孫子查爾斯·阿爾班·巴克勒(1825–1905)也從事建築師職業。自2013年以來,蘇黎世聯邦理工學院建築歷史與理論研究所一直主持著一個關於巴克勒家族(建築師與地形藝術家)的研究項目。
