About the Item

Title: Historic Miniature Watercolor of St Mary Redcliffe and St Stephens Church by Jack Grunwell, 20th century British artist Medium: Watercolor on thin card, unframed Measurements: 3 inches (height) x 4 inches (width) Condition: Very good and highly presentable Provenance: from a large private collection of this artists work in Bristol, England. Description: This stunning dual watercolor composition by Jack Grunwell captures two of Bristol’s most iconic churches, St Mary Redcliffe and St Stephen’s Church, both revered for their historical and architectural significance. St Mary Redcliffe, a masterpiece of English Gothic architecture, has stood as a symbol of Bristol’s heritage since the 14th century. Its towering spire, intricate tracery, and elaborate buttresses are meticulously rendered, showcasing the artist’s attention to architectural grandeur. Queen Elizabeth I once described this church as "the fairest, goodliest, and most famous parish church in England." Adjacent to it, St Stephen’s Church, built in the 15th century, is another architectural landmark of Bristol, featuring a majestic tower, ornate arched windows, and a rich history as the church of the city’s merchants and traders. This painting captures its stately presence and serene surroundings, evoking the spiritual and civic importance it has held for centuries. Key Features: Depicts two of Bristol’s most historically significant churches, St Mary Redcliffe and St Stephen’s Church, both known for their distinctive Gothic and Perpendicular architectural styles. Beautifully detailed spires, intricate stonework, and atmospheric watercolor tones bring out the depth and majesty of these sacred landmarks. Figures in period attire enhance the sense of history, offering a glimpse into Bristol’s rich cultural past. Ideal for collectors of Bristol cityscapes, Gothic architecture, and English ecclesiastical history, this piece combines heritage and artistry in one. This exquisite dual watercolor study would make a fantastic addition to collections focused on British historical landmarks, religious heritage, and urban architecture, offering both historical significance and artistic beauty.
