EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Fords Hospital in Coventry during the late 19th to early 20th century. Painted by Mary Anne Sibree, this oil on canvas artwork measures 52x41 cm and is currently housed at the Herbert Art Gallery & Museum in Coventry, UK. Fords Hospital, also known as Grey Friars Hospital, is a remarkable grade I listed half-timbered almshouse located on Greyfriars Lane. Its origins date back to 1509 when it was established by William Ford (or Fourd), a prominent merchant of that time. The purpose of this institution was to provide shelter for six elderly individuals - five men and one woman. The painting beautifully captures the architecture of Fords Hospital with its Tudor-style design and intricate timberwork. In the courtyard depicted within the artwork, we see seated figures, possibly nurses or caretakers attending to their duties. The composition exudes tranquility and offers a glimpse into daily life within this historical establishment. Sibree's meticulous brushstrokes bring out every detail of this magnificent building while preserving its timeless charm. This piece serves as both an artistic representation and a historical documentation of Fords Hospital's significance in Coventry's heritage. Displayed here with permission from Bridgeman Images via Fine Art Finder, this image allows us to appreciate the beauty and history encapsulated within Fords Hospital during its heyday over a century ago.
