EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the dramatic scene of the "Bristol Riots: The Burning of the Bishops Palace" in 1831. Painted by William James Muller, this oil on paper artwork measures 12.4x22.9 cm and is housed in the Bristol Museum and Art Gallery, UK. The painting depicts a significant event that unfolded during the Bristol Riots following the rejection of the second Reform Bill by the House of Lords. Local magistrate Sir Charles Wetherell, a staunch opponent of the bill, visited Bristol to open new Assize Courts on October 29th. However, an enraged mob pursued him to Queen Square's Mansion House. With around 500-600 young men participating in these riots for three consecutive days, chaos ensued as they looted and destroyed various properties including Robert Gray's Bishop Palace and private homes. Additionally, much of the gaol was demolished during this period. Tragically, four rioters lost their lives while four others were hanged despite a petition signed by over 10,000 people pleading for mercy. Muller's artwork not only serves as a visual documentation but also evokes emotions surrounding this historical event. It offers viewers a glimpse into one tumultuous moment amidst broader social unrest during that time. This particular print is part of eBristol Museums' collection and was purchased in 1921 from Bridgeman Images without any commercial use intentions mentioned or implied
