Located in Bloomsbury, London, the Foundling Hospital was designed by Theodore Jacobsen. Completed in 1754, the chapel was situated among the main buildings of the hospital, facing the front court and adjoining the projecting east and west wings. The Foundling Hospital, established as a "Hospital for the Maintenance and Education of Exposed and Deserted Young Children,” was granted a royal charter in 1739 and quickly became one of London’s most popular charities. Prominent artists supported the institution, and their paintings lined the court room and picture gallery. With its organ donated by Handel, the chapel became famous for its musical performances, in turn raising funds for the hospital. --- --- This view shows the finished interior, looking east toward the altar with the Adoration of the Magi altarpiece donated by Andrea Casali already installed, which did not take place until 1752. The western gallery is supported by two columns in the foreground. The large clerk’s reading desk is visible near the center of the room, south of the aisle. A view of the chapel from the other end is included in Rudolph Ackermann's publication Microcosm of London (1808), illustrated by Augustus Charles Pugin and Thomas Rowlandson. The Foundling Hospital was demolished in 1928. --- --- Gallery label for installation of YCBA collection, 2014 10613 300048722 Gallery label 2014 ycba_term_2036212 architectural subject 300015424 ycba_term_27187 views 300004590 ycba_term_14720 chapels 300007466 ycba_term_18792 churches London 7011781 ycba_term_1879855 London 51.5000, -0.1660 Foundling Hospital ycba_term_2044890 Foundling Hospital 300055603 500303557 Yale Center for British Art https://britishart.yale.edu Yale Center for British Art, Paul Mellon Collection 300055598 Public Domain 300435434 https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/ 10613 300133025 Item 500303557 Yale Center for British Art http://britishart.yale.edu https://collections.britishart.yale.edu/catalog/tms:10613 oai:tms.ycba.yale.edu:10613 https://manifests.collections.yale.edu/v2/ycba/obj/10613 https://manifests.collections.yale.edu/ycba/obj/10613 IIIF manifest Yale Center for British Art 500303557 Yale Center for British Art
