Title: Historic Miniature Watercolor of Wine Street Looking to Corn Street in Bristol
by Jack Grunwell, 20th century British artist
Medium: Watercolor on thin card, unframed
Measurements: 3.75 inches (height) x 3 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 captures the bustling heart of Bristol in a bygone era, depicting Wine Street looking towards Corn Street—one of the city's most historically significant thoroughfares.
At the center of the composition stands All Saints Church, distinguished by its domed tower, while to the right, the sharp spire of Christ Church soars into the sky. Other prominent landmarks include St. Stephen’s Church, St. Ewan’s, St. George’s, and the charming timber-framed buildings that once lined these iconic streets.
The artist expertly conveys the liveliness of Bristol’s commercial hub, with market traders, horse-drawn carriages, and townspeople filling the street. The warm tones of the historic architecture contrast beautifully with the soft sky, creating a sense of both nostalgia and movement.
During the Victorian era, Wine Street and Corn Street were bustling centers of trade and civic life, home to merchants, bankers, and public officials. Much of this area was heavily damaged during the Bristol Blitz in World War II, making this painting a valuable glimpse into the city's lost architecture and urban life.
Key Features:
Historic Bristol Cityscape: Features key landmarks such as All Saints Church, Christ Church, and St. Stephen’s.
Architectural Charm: Showcases Bristol’s timber-framed buildings and elegant church towers.
Lively Street Scene: Figures, market stalls, and carriages bring the Victorian-era city to life.
