Thomas Guy’s Funeral Monument

According to his will, Thomas Guy was buried inside the chapel of Guy’s Hospital, in London. This majestic tomb was built over his remains. While the inscription praises the philantropic attitude of “the sole Founder of this Hospital”, on the monument’s background we can see two men carrying a sick into the hospital.
