Growing up in the twists and turns of the Victorian streets of London, Wild's artistic paths crossed early on with those of Thomas Malton. This encounter shaped his career and led him to focus on architectural subjects from the beginning.
In 1803 Wild entered the stage of the Royal Academy and began to exhibit his works there. Just six years later, in February 1809, he was elected a member of the prestigious Old Watercolour Society, becoming a full member in June 1812. Although he briefly resigned his membership, he was readmitted to the Society in February 1821, served as treasurer in 1822, and as secretary beginning in 1827, but the light that illuminated Wild's extraordinary depictions of architectural splendor began to wane. In 1827, his eyesight progressively deteriorated, and in 1832 he went completely blind. He died on August 4, 1835, at his home in Albemarle Street, Piccadilly, where he had lived since 1820. His legacy lives on in his son, the architect James William Wild.
Wild's work is an impressive collection of architectural studies. As early as 1803, he exhibited two views of Christ Church, Oxford, followed by drawings of Westminster Abbey in 1805 and York Cathedral in 1808. He published six series of artworks depicting English cathedrals, including Canterbury (1807), York (1809), Chester (1813), Lichfield (1813), Lincoln (1819), and Worcester (1823). His contributions to William Henry Pyne's "Royal Residences," published in 1819, were reproduced as hand-colored aquatints in the manner of Rudolph Ackermann's "Microcosm of London." Wild's travels on the European continent led him to examples of medieval church architecture, mainly in France, and to a volume of sketches from Belgium, Germany, and France published in 1833. One of his notable works, Architectural Grandeur, was published posthumously in 1837 and consisted of continental sketches that were transformed into works of art by John Le Keux and other artists. Our company honors Charles Wild's legacy by offering these stunning depictions of architecture in high-quality fine art prints that capture every detail and nuance of Wild's original watercolors.
