About the Item

Title: Pair of Watercolors of St John the Baptist Horfield and St Mary Redcliffe Church by Jack Grunwell, 20th century British artist Medium: Watercolor on thin card, unframed Measurements: 2.25 inches (height) x 3.75 inches (width) Condition: Very good and highly presentable Provenance: From a large private collection of this artists work in Bristol, England. Description: This beautifully detailed double watercolour by Jack Grunwell features two iconic churches in Bristol: St John the Baptist Church in Horfield and the magnificent St Mary Redcliffe Church. Rendered with soft precision and atmospheric tones, these miniature studies celebrate the architectural heritage of the city. On the left, St John the Baptist Church, located in Horfield, is depicted with its distinctive square tower and churchyard, nestled among greenery and gravestones. Known for its Norman origins and later Gothic updates, it remains a local landmark and active place of worship. On the right, the soaring verticality of St Mary Redcliffe dominates the composition. Considered one of the finest examples of Gothic architecture in England, Queen Elizabeth I famously declared it "the fairest, goodliest, and most famous parish church in England." The church's elegant spire and intricate flying buttresses are sensitively captured in Grunwell’s soft palette. Together, these two paintings offer a captivating glimpse into Bristol’s rich ecclesiastical history and would make a wonderful addition to any collection celebrating British architecture or religious heritage.
