Historic Miniature Watercolor of St Peters Hospital in Bristol

About the Item

Title: Historic Miniature Watercolor of St Peters Hospital in Bristol by Jack Grunwell, 20th century British artist Medium: Watercolor on thin card, unframed Measurements: 4.5 inches (height) x 3 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 watercolor by Jack Grunwell captures the historic St Peter’s Hospital in Bristol, a striking 17th-century timber-framed building that once stood as a prominent feature of the city’s architectural landscape. Built in 1607, this remarkable structure was used as a hospital for the poor before being tragically damaged during the Bristol Blitz of 1940. The painting highlights the building’s intricate half-timbered façade, steep gables, and large oriel windows, with deep blue tones enhancing its Tudor-style elegance. Figures in period clothing, including a woman walking her dog, add to the timeless charm of the scene, evoking a sense of life in historical Bristol. Key Features: Depicts St Peter’s Hospital, a 17th-century Bristol landmark known for its striking timber-framed architecture. Showcases the building’s distinctive gables, intricate woodwork, and historic blue windows, reflecting classic Jacobean design. Includes figures in period dress, enhancing the nostalgic and historical atmosphere. Delicate watercolor tones emphasize the aged beauty of this lost architectural treasure, making it an ideal piece for collectors of Bristol history, Tudor and Jacobean architecture, and English cityscapes. This artwork is a perfect addition to collections focused on British architectural heritage, historic buildings, and classic urban landscapes, offering both historical significance and artistic beauty.
