About the Item

Title: Historic Miniature Watercolor of The Matthew at Bristol and Suspension Bridge by Jack Grunwell, 20th century British artist Medium: Watercolor on thin card, unframed Measurements: 3 inches (height) x 3.75 inches (width) Condition: Very good and highly presentable Provenance: From a large private collection of this artists work in Bristol, England. Description: This exquisite watercolor by Jack Grunwell captures The Matthew, a faithful replica of the historic ship sailed by John Cabot in 1497, set against the picturesque backdrop of Bristol’s Floating Harbour and the Clifton Suspension Bridge. This painting beautifully combines Bristol’s rich maritime history with its iconic 19th-century engineering, making it a striking and timeless composition. The Matthew, with its billowing sails and red pennants, takes center stage, gliding gracefully through the deep blue waters of the Avon Gorge. The surrounding lush green cliffs and historic Bristol architecture, bathed in soft natural light, provide an idyllic setting. In the background, the Clifton Suspension Bridge, designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, stands majestically above the scene, reinforcing Bristol’s legacy as a center of innovation and exploration. This piece is perfect for collectors with an interest in maritime history, historic ships, and British landmarks, offering a stunning and evocative portrayal of Bristol’s nautical and architectural heritage.
