Jack Grunwell
Miniature Watercolor Triptych of Historic English Churches and Gatehouses

About the Item

Title: Miniature Watercolor Triptych of Historic English Churches and Gatehouses by Jack Grunwell, 20th century British artist Medium: Watercolor on thin card, unframed Measurements: 2.5 inches (height) x 4.75 inches (width) Condition: Very good and highly presentable Provenance: From a large private collection of this artists work in Bristol, England. Description: This unique triptych watercolour by Jack Grunwell features three small yet detailed architectural studies of historic English religious and civic buildings. Each panel captures a different iconic scene: The left panel shows a richly ornamented church façade, likely a 19th-century Gothic Revival building with large arched windows and rose tracery. The centre panel features a cathedral gate tower, its pointed spire and arched base suggesting a monastic or collegiate church entry. The right panel depicts a Tudor gatehouse, with battlements and oriel windows, possibly referencing a famous site such as St John’s Gate, Clerkenwell, or a university college entrance. Grunwell’s small-scale compositions are brimming with narrative and historic texture. Figures in period dress add life and context to the scenes, enhancing their value as historical studies and architectural tributes. This piece is ideal for collectors of ecclesiastical art, British heritage, or those drawn to miniature architectural works. It is both refined and charming, showcasing Grunwell’s skill in bringing historical landmarks to life in compact form.
