His name sounds like the kind you'd make up for an online profile in this forum but he's also one of England's great artists that few people have heard of. If you haven't heard of him then have a look at the works of art he created in wood and marvel how anyone could carve such intricate designs in such uncompromising material.

There're two exhibitions featuring his work, although the one at Bonhams ends on the 27th August, there's still time to go to Compton Verney in Warwickshire which starts on September 25.
The 17th century was the Golden Age of wood carving and Gibbons was it's greatest exponent.
