ABSTRACT
Artist architects such as Joseph Michael Gandy (1771-1843), a contemporary of J.M.W. Turner, were the instigators of this tradition. Gandy worked at Sir John Soane’s office for 12 years and his dramatic illustration has come to define Soane’s production. Similarly some 100 years later Cyril Arthur Farey (1888-1954) was another artist architect whose illustrations and watercolours became synonymous with the work of a colossus of British Architecture, Sir Edmund Lutyens.
