EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent St James's Church and Priory in 1630, as captured by the talented artist Samuel Griffiths Tovey. Painted with oil on canvas, this masterpiece measures 24x31.2 cm and is currently housed at the prestigious Bristol Museum and Art Gallery in the UK. The image transports us back to a time when this architectural marvel stood tall amidst a serene graveyard. The church's towering presence dominates the scene, its intricate details beautifully rendered by Tovey's skilled brushstrokes. The elegant priory adjacent to it adds an air of mystique to the composition. As we gaze upon this painting, we are reminded of the rich history that surrounds these sacred grounds. The centuries-old buildings exude a sense of reverence and awe, inviting us to contemplate their significance within our cultural heritage. Acquired in 1905 from an unknown source, this artwork has become a cherished part of Bristol's artistic legacy.
