About the Item

Title: Historic Miniature Watercolor of St John’s Gate and City Wall in Bristol by Jack Grunwell, 20th century British artist Medium: Watercolor on thin card, unframed Measurements: 4 inches (height) x 2.5 inches (width) Condition: Very good and highly presentable Provenance: From a large private collection of this artists work in Bristol, England. Description: This captivating watercolor by Jack Grunwell presents a historical view of St John’s Gate and the City Wall in Bristol, an iconic medieval landmark. The detailed rendering of St John on the Wall Church, which famously sits atop one of the last remaining sections of Bristol’s ancient city walls, evokes a sense of the city’s rich past. Built in the 14th century, St John’s Gate was once a crucial entrance to the medieval city of Bristol, with the church itself designed as both a religious sanctuary and a defensive structure. The distinctive Gothic spire and fortified gateway remain a beloved part of Bristol’s architectural heritage. Grunwell’s muted color palette and soft interplay of light and shadow create a nostalgic, almost atmospheric representation of the historic gateway nestled within the bustling cityscape. The figures in the foreground, dressed in period attire, add a lively narrative element, capturing a moment in time from Bristol’s storied past. Key Features: Architectural Significance: A rare depiction of one of Bristol’s last surviving medieval city gates. Historic Atmosphere: Captures the essence of Bristol’s rich past, blending urban life with architectural grandeur. Fine Detail: Beautifully highlights the intricate stonework and Gothic spire of St John’s Church. Period Charm: The inclusion of figures in period dress adds life and historical context to the scene. A perfect piece for collectors of historic British landmarks, Bristol enthusiasts, or lovers of architectural watercolors.
