About the Item

Title: Miniature Watercolor of Corn Street Bristol St Werburghs Church 15th Century by Jack Grunwell, 20th century British artist Medium: Watercolor on thin card, unframed Measurements: 3.25 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 finely detailed watercolor by Jack Grunwell captures Corn Street in Bristol, featuring the historic St Werburgh’s Church, a 15th-century architectural landmark that once stood in the heart of the city before being relocated to Mina Road between 1871 and 1878. This striking composition showcases Bristol’s rich historical landscape, highlighting its intricate stone churches, civic buildings, and bustling city streets. St Werburgh’s Church, originally built in 1470, stood on Corn Street for centuries before being dismantled and rebuilt in a new location to accommodate Bristol’s urban expansion. Its Gothic-style tower, elegant spire, and delicate tracery are meticulously depicted, alongside other notable architectural features that define the historic city center. The foreground figures, dressed in period attire, add a sense of time and movement, emphasizing Bristol’s evolving urban history. Key Features: Depicts St Werburgh’s Church and Corn Street in Bristol, an area steeped in architectural and social history. Showcases the church’s Gothic stonework, arched windows, and slender spire, before its relocation in the late 19th century. Figures in period clothing evoke the historical atmosphere, enhancing the authenticity of the scene. Delicate watercolor tones highlight the grandeur and movement of this vibrant street, making it an ideal piece for collectors of Bristol landmarks, religious history, and historic cityscapes. This artwork is a wonderful addition to collections focused on British urban history, medieval churches, and classic Bristol cityscapes, offering both historical significance and artistic beauty.
