About the Item
Title: Shakespeare Inn and Temple Church Bristol Historical Street Scene
by Jack Grunwell, 20th century British artist
Medium: Watercolor on thin card, unframed
Measurements: 3.25 inches (height) x 2.5 inches (width)
Condition: Very good and highly presentable
Provenance: From a large private collection of this artists work in Bristol, England.
Description:
This lively watercolour by Jack Grunwell captures the Shakespeare Inn with Temple Church in the background, situated in the historic heart of Bristol. A bustling foreground of pedestrians and figures in period dress adds warmth and movement to this beautifully observed architectural study.
The Shakespeare Inn is a rare surviving example of Tudor timber-framed architecture, its overhanging gables and colourful façade painted here in soft ochres and reds. Behind it rises the tower of Temple Church, founded by the Knights Templar and known for its leaning spire—a feature resulting from unstable foundations and war damage. The church is now a Grade II listed ruin and stands as a haunting reminder of Bristol's resilience through centuries of change.
Grunwell captures the charm and contrast of medieval and Victorian life with accuracy and mood, making this painting a compelling addition for collectors of Bristol history, Tudor architecture, or urban heritage landmarks.
