About the Item

Title: St Nicholas Bristol Bridge 1763 and St Mary the Virgin Hunbury Watercolours by Jack Grunwell, 20th century British artist Medium: Watercolor on thin card, unframed Measurements: 4 inches (height) x 2.25 inches (width) Condition: Very good and highly presentable Provenance: From a large private collection of this artists work in Bristol, England. Description: This set of two exquisite watercolors by Jack Grunwell showcases two significant historic churches: St Nicholas Church, Bristol Bridge (1763), and St Mary the Virgin, Hanbury. Both paintings beautifully capture the architectural grandeur and historical significance of these sites, making them a wonderful addition to any collection of ecclesiastical or British heritage artwork. The first painting, St Nicholas Church, Bristol Bridge, presents the 18th-century church that once stood proudly by the city’s main river crossing. Originally dating back to medieval times, the church was rebuilt in 1763 after severe damage and later played a significant role in Bristol’s religious history. The elegant arched windows, distinctive clock tower, and riverside setting are skillfully captured, with the presence of tall ships moored nearby reinforcing Bristol’s maritime heritage. The second piece, St Mary the Virgin, Hanbury, offers a tranquil depiction of the historic parish church in Worcestershire, England. This Norman-style church with a distinctive tower is surrounded by a peaceful graveyard, rolling greenery, and mature trees, evoking a timeless serenity. Grunwell’s delicate brushwork and soft, natural color palette enhance the sense of history and tranquility, making this an evocative and atmospheric composition. This collection is ideal for lovers of English churches, architectural studies, and historical landscapes, providing a charming glimpse into Britain’s religious and architectural past.
