Title: Historic Miniature Watercolor of Theatre Royal Bristol 1766 Street Scene
by Jack Grunwell, 20th century British artist
Medium: Watercolor on thin card, unframed
Measurements: 2.75 inches (height) x 4.25 inches (width)
Condition: Very good and highly presentable
Provenance: From a large private collection of this artists work in Bristol, England.
Description:
This atmospheric watercolour by Jack Grunwell captures the Theatre Royal in Bristol, as it would have appeared in 1766, the year of its founding. The detailed street scene is brought to life with period figures, horse-drawn carriages, and bustling townsfolk, set against the backdrop of timber-framed shops and the neoclassical architecture of the theatre itself.
Founded in 1766, the Theatre Royal Bristol is the oldest continuously operating theatre in the English-speaking world and home to the Bristol Old Vic. Its elegant Georgian façade and dramatic legacy have made it one of Britain’s most iconic theatrical landmarks. The surrounding architecture and everyday activity evoke the energy and elegance of 18th-century city life.
This painting is a perfect addition to collections focused on British theatre, Georgian architecture, or Bristol’s historical landscape. A fine example of Grunwell’s attention to historical accuracy and his ability to convey both grandeur and charm in small-scale works.
