Description: This atmospheric set of four miniature watercolors by Jack Grunwell captures the architectural and maritime heart of Redcliffe and Bristol Harbour, combining dramatic ship rigging with the towering spires of the city’s iconic churches. Redcliffe with 'Importer' Warehouse – A lively harbour view with merchant ships docked in front of painted brick warehouses, including a clearly marked “Importer” building. St Mary Redcliffe’s iconic spire rises through the haze, anchoring the city’s skyline. Redcliffe, Bristol – A vertical composition showing several tall ships docked along the quay, with the majestic spire of St Mary Redcliffe dominating the background. Grunwell’s soft, layered brushwork evokes a misty morning on the Avon. Redcliffe with Ships and Rowboats – This view captures the density of Bristol’s working harbour, featuring clustered masts, smaller boats in motion, and a layered cityscape beyond. The composition is rich in contrast and movement. Bristol Quay and St Stephen’s Tower – A dramatic portrayal of ships moored along the quay with the square tower of St Stephen’s Church rising prominently in the background. The brick waterfront warehouses provide a warm contrast to the rigging above. Together, these pieces offer a nuanced look at Bristol’s maritime past, blending its ecclesiastical landmarks with the energy and complexity of harbour life. Perfect for collectors of British maritime art, urban architectural studies, or those with a personal connection to Bristol.
