by Jack Grunwell, 20th century British artist

Description:
This charming watercolour by Jack Grunwell presents a nostalgic view of Cathedral Close in Bristol, capturing a group of uniformed schoolboys assembled in the courtyard, likely pupils of Bristol Cathedral School. The backdrop features the grand medieval entrance gate and the towers of Bristol Cathedral, with warm tones highlighting the historic architecture and tall chimneys of the surrounding buildings.
Bristol Cathedral School, founded in 1542, is one of the oldest schools in England, located in the heart of the city and closely associated with the adjacent Bristol Cathedral, a masterpiece of Gothic and Norman architecture. The school’s students, depicted here in formation, suggest a morning assembly or inspection in a timeless academic ritual.
This piece offers a window into the rhythms of historic school life and ecclesiastical architecture, making it ideal for collectors of educational or British historical subjects, particularly those with links to Bristol’s cultural and academic heritage.
