EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent brass sculpture of Thomas Rowley and his wife, gracefully positioned in the middle aisle of St John's Church. The artwork, created by Joseph Manning in the early 19th century, beautifully captures the essence of this religious couple. The intricate details and craftsmanship of this brass monument are truly remarkable. Every curve and contour is meticulously depicted, reflecting the skillful artistry of Manning. The figures exude a sense of solemnity and reverence as they rest peacefully within the church's crypt. Representing a significant piece from the Northern Renaissance period, this sculpture serves as a testament to both faith and love. It stands as an enduring tribute to Thomas Rowley and his devoted wife, immortalizing their memory for generations to come. As we gaze upon this painting on paper, we are transported back in time to witness not only a work of art but also a glimpse into history. Through its depiction of these two individuals united in eternal matrimony, we are reminded that even in death there is beauty and unity. Thanks to William Jerdone Braikenridge's generous bequest in 1908, this masterpiece now resides within Bristol Museum and Art Gallery where it can be admired by all who visit. Let us cherish this extraordinary representation of devotion that transcends time itself.
