雷恩,克里斯托弗爵士
1669年,雷恩被任命为皇家建筑师,他在这个职位上呆了45年多。从1670年到1711年,他设计了52座伦敦教堂,其中大部分仍然屹立不倒,以其多样而新颖的设计和精美的尖顶而闻名。它们包括圣斯蒂芬,沃尔布鲁克;圣马丁,路德盖特;舰队街圣布莱德;和圣玛丽-勒-鲍,后者体现了尖顶的类型在后退阶段通常与雷恩的名字联系在一起。在他众多的世俗作品中,有牛津的谢尔登剧院;剑桥大学三一学院优雅的图书馆;汉普顿宫的花园立面;切尔西医院; portions of Greenwich Hospital; and the buildings of the Temple, London. Wren also built residences in London and in the country, and these, as well as his public works, received the stamp of his distinctive style. His buildings exhibit a remarkable elegance, order, clarity, and dignity. His influence was considerable on church architecture in England and abroad. Wren was knighted in 1675, and is buried in the crypt of St. Paul's.
