EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the Supposed Crypt of the Church, which once stood proudly at the corner of High Street and Wine Street in 1821. The artist, James Johnson, skillfully depicts an eerie and atmospheric interior that exudes a sense of mystery and intrigue. The painting transports us to a bygone era, immersing us in the religious ambiance of this medieval church crypt. With its dimly lit passage and dark corners, one cannot help but feel a shiver down their spine as they explore this sinister underground space. The Gothic architecture adds to the overall haunting beauty of the scene. The stone walls bear witness to centuries-old secrets while casting long shadows that seem to dance with ghostly whispers. It is as if time has stood still within these ancient walls. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of British history and its rich ecclesiastical heritage. The Supposed Crypt serves as a testament to Bristol's past, evoking both fascination and trepidation. Thanks to William Jerdone Braikenridge's generous bequest in 1908, this masterpiece found its home at Bristol Museum and Art Gallery where it continues to captivate visitors with its enigmatic charm. Through Johnson's masterful brushstrokes, we are transported into a world filled with darkness yet brimming with untold stories waiting for those brave enough to uncover them.
