About the Item

Title: Historic Miniature Watercolor of Shakespeare Inn and Temple Church Leaning Tower by Jack Grunwell, 20th century British artist Medium: Watercolor on thin card, unframed Measurements: 2.5 inches (height) x 3.5 inches (width) Condition: Very good and highly presentable Provenance: from a large private collection of this artists work in Bristol, England. Description: This historical watercolor by Jack Grunwell beautifully captures Temple Church and the Shakespeare Inn in Bristol, a scene filled with rich architectural heritage and lively street activity. At the heart of the composition is the famous leaning tower of Temple Church, a striking feature that has fascinated Bristol’s residents for centuries. Built by the Knights Templar in the 12th century, the church suffered heavy damage in the Bristol Blitz of World War II, leaving only the ruined tower standing as a testament to its past. To the right, the Shakespeare Inn, a striking timber-framed building, showcases the city's 16th-century coaching inn heritage, once a key stopping point for travelers and merchants. The painting is enriched with period details such as horse-drawn carriages, market-goers, and figures dressed in historical attire, bringing Bristol’s bustling past to life. Key Features: Historic Bristol Landmark: Features the leaning tower of Temple Church, a surviving remnant of medieval Bristol. 16th-Century Coaching Inn: The Shakespeare Inn is depicted in stunning detail, evoking the city’s rich commercial history. Lively Period Scene: The inclusion of horses, carriages, and townspeople adds a sense of movement and nostalgia. Collectible British Cityscape: A valuable artwork for collectors interested in Bristol’s history, architectural landmarks, and vintage street scenes. This piece is a wonderful addition for collectors of historical cityscapes or those with a deep appreciation for Bristol’s architectural past.
