Description: In this delicate watercolor, Jack Grunwell captures the timeless view of Bristol Cathedral and Bristol Cathedral Choir School, seen from Canons Marsh, a historically rich area on the Harbourside. The scene evokes a pastoral calm, with cattle grazing, figures strolling, and trees framing the distant Gothic towers of the cathedral. Founded in the 12th century, Bristol Cathedral is a standout example of English Gothic architecture, its distinctive twin towers dominating the skyline. The nearby school, one of the oldest in England, adds further heritage appeal to this view. The scene is rendered in soft natural hues, evoking a serene moment where urban history and rural life blend. Ideal for collectors interested in Bristol history, cathedral architecture, or pastoral English landscapes, this piece offers a nostalgic and beautifully composed perspective on one of the city’s most beloved views.
