EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the solemn beauty of the Tomb of Sir George Snygge in St Stephens Church. Created by Marcus H. Homes, a talented artist from the 19th century, this artwork showcases his mastery in pencil and watercolor on paper. The image transports us to a time when religious devotion was intricately woven into every aspect of life. The church's gothic architecture serves as a majestic backdrop for this remarkable funerary sculpture. The effigy of Sir George Snygge rests peacefully atop his tomb, evoking a sense of reverence and remembrance. Every detail is meticulously portrayed, highlighting the skillful craftsmanship that went into creating this medieval monument. From the delicate folds in Sir George's attire to the intricate carvings adorning the tomb itself, each element tells its own story. Bristol Museum and Art Gallery has preserved this extraordinary piece as part of their collection since it was bequeathed by William Jerdone Braikenridge in 1908. Now made available through eBristol Museums, Galleries & Archives, we have an opportunity to appreciate Homes' painting without any copyright restrictions. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded not only of Sir George Snygge but also of our shared human experience with those who came before us. It serves as a poignant reminder that art has the power to transcend time and connect us with history in profound ways.
