Title: Pair of Historic Miniature Watercolor of Bristol Cathedral and School
by Jack Grunwell, 20th century British artist
Medium: Watercolor on thin card, unframed
Measurements: 3 inches (height) x 5.25 inches (width)
Condition: Very good and highly presentable
Provenance: From a large private collection of this artists work in Bristol, England.
Description:
This pair of finely detailed watercolors by Jack Grunwell presents two perspectives of Bristol Cathedral, one of the city's most striking medieval landmarks. The left panel captures the majestic west façade, with its twin Gothic towers, intricate tracery, and impressive entrance. The right panel offers a serene landscape view of the cathedral and Bristol Cathedral School, seen from Canon’s Marsh, where grazing cattle and a small boat evoke a sense of rural tranquility amid the city’s historic backdrop.
Founded in 1140 as St. Augustine's Abbey, Bristol Cathedral became an Anglican cathedral in 1542, known for its exquisite architecture, including the hall church design, a rare feature in English cathedrals. Its rich history and connection to education make it an enduring symbol of Bristol’s heritage.
Grunwell’s masterful use of perspective brings both the grandeur of the cathedral and its harmonious relationship with nature to life. Figures in period attire add a historical narrative, enhancing the sense of time and place.
Key Features:
Dual Perspectives: Two complementary views—the grand west façade and a scenic pastoral setting.
Architectural Grandeur: Captures the intricate stonework, soaring towers, and medieval design of the cathedral.
Historic Context: A nod to Bristol’s ecclesiastical and educational legacy, connecting faith and learning.
Soft, Natural Palette: Earthy tones and gentle watercolor washes create a sense of timeless elegance.
This artwork is an exceptional choice for collectors of Bristol’s history, cathedral art, and architectural studies, offering a rare dual portrayal of one of England’s great historic sites.
