Description:
This distinctive trio of miniature watercolors by British artist Jack Grunwell offers a compelling tribute to Bristol’s maritime past, featuring two iconic ships and a historic waterfront scene:
Brunel’s SS Great Britain (1845) – Launched in 1843, the SS Great Britain was the world’s first iron-hulled, steam-powered passenger liner to cross the Atlantic. Designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, this revolutionary ship now resides as a museum in Bristol’s Floating Harbour. Grunwell captures her at sea with smoke billowing and sails unfurled, evoking her groundbreaking 19th-century voyages.
The Matthew Returns to Bristol (1998) – This painting celebrates the modern reconstruction of The Matthew, a 15th-century caravel famously sailed by John Cabot in 1497. The replica returned to Bristol Harbour in 1998 after a transatlantic voyage, marking 500 years since Cabot’s historic journey to Newfoundland. The ship sails beneath Clifton Suspension Bridge, set against the lush gorge cliffs—a view unique to Bristol.
Llandoger Trow Inn and the Docks – This beloved Tudor-style pub, established in 1664, overlooks the city’s harbourside and is steeped in nautical history. Situated close to the docks, it was frequented by sailors and is rumoured to have inspired scenes in Treasure Island. Grunwell’s version includes tall ships in dock and dockworkers animating the foreground, adding period atmosphere to this iconic waterfront scene.
These three pieces form an ideal collection for lovers of British naval history, Bristol maritime heritage, or collectors of atmospheric miniatures that transport viewers to a different time. The combination of famous ships and historic harbourside landmarks ensures broad appeal.
