About the Item

Title: Miniature Watercolor of Shakespeare Inn and Temple Church Leaning Tower Bristol by Jack Grunwell, 20th century British artist Medium: Watercolor on thin card, unframed Measurements: 2.5 inches (height) x 3.5 inches (width) Condition: Very good and highly presentable Provenance: From a large private collection of this artists work in Bristol, England. Description: This charming watercolor painting by Jack Grunwell beautifully captures the historic Shakespeare Inn and Temple Church Leaning Tower in Bristol. The artist masterfully depicts the Tudor-style timber-framed buildings, bustling figures, and the famous leaning tower of Temple Church, which has tilted at an angle since the 14th century. Key Features: Historic Subject: The Shakespeare Inn was a well-known coaching inn in Bristol, standing near the ruins of Temple Church, which was originally built by the Knights Templar. Leaning Tower of Bristol: The Temple Church tower, known for its noticeable tilt, is one of Bristol’s most fascinating architectural quirks, often compared to the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Tudor and Medieval Architecture: The half-timbered Shakespeare Inn and adjacent buildings are depicted in fine detail, showing the character of old Bristol. Atmospheric Composition: The warm tones of the buildings contrast with the cool blue sky, while the busy street scene with figures, horses, and carts brings the painting to life. This historical watercolor is perfect for collectors of British cityscapes, architectural heritage, and Bristol history. A timeless piece that showcases the rich medieval and Tudor influences that shaped Bristol’s architectural identity.
