Artist 19: E. W. Pugin


E. W. Pugin was born in 1834.  He was the eldest son of a successful and widely well known architect and designer of Neo-Gothic architecture.  He became part of the family business and learned from his father and then worked for his father.  When Pugin’s father died in 1852, he took over the family architecture practice and continued his father’s great legacy.  Although he mainly designed and completed projects in the British Isles, he received many commissions from countries in Western Europe, Scandinavia, and even from countries in North America.  Throughout Pugin’s life he designed and created over 100 churches and cathedrals.
