Historic Miniature Watercolor of Brunel’s Ships, Great Western and Great Britain

About the Item

Title: Historic Miniature Watercolor of Brunel’s Ships, Great Western and Great Britain by Jack Grunwell, 20th century British artist Medium: Watercolor on thin card, unframed Measurements: 3.75 inches (height) x 3 inches (width) Condition: Very good and highly presentable Provenance: from a large private collection of this artists work in Bristol, England. Description: This evocative watercolor painting by Jack Grunwell captures two of Isambard Kingdom Brunel’s most revolutionary ships, the Great Western and Great Britain, pioneers of 19th-century maritime engineering. The Great Western (top), launched in 1837, was the first purpose-built transatlantic steamship, revolutionizing travel between Britain and America. The Great Britain (bottom), launched in 1843, was the world’s first iron-hulled, propeller-driven ocean liner, a marvel of engineering that remains one of Bristol’s most treasured historical ships today. Grunwell’s artwork depicts both vessels at sea, their smokestacks billowing steam, sails filled with wind, and flags flying, evoking the power and grandeur of these iconic ships. Key Features: A rare, original depiction of Brunel’s historic ships in a unique double composition. Rich in maritime history, making it ideal for collectors, naval enthusiasts, and lovers of industrial heritage. A perfect addition to any Bristol-themed art collection, especially for those who appreciate the city’s shipbuilding legacy. Ideal for framing and display in a home, office, or gallery setting.
