EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the exquisite craftsmanship of four trusses in the north porch of St Mary Redcliffe. Originally designed to support statues, these trusses stand as a testament to the rich religious and ecclesiastical history that permeates this iconic church. The intricate details of each truss are brought to life through Joseph Manning's masterful watercolor technique on paper. The play of light and shadow highlights the architectural beauty, revealing every curve and contour with precision. As one gazes upon this artwork, it is impossible not to be awestruck by the skillful fusion of sculpture and architecture. The figural corbels adorning each truss add a touch of elegance and grandeur, elevating them from mere structural elements to works of art in their own right. Through this painting, Manning invites us into a world where spirituality intertwines seamlessly with artistic expression. It serves as a reminder that even within places dedicated to worship, creativity flourishes and leaves an indelible mark on our collective heritage. Displayed at Bristol Museum and Art Gallery, this print stands as a testament to William Jerdone Braikenridge's foresight in preserving such remarkable pieces for future generations. Its timeless appeal transcends boundaries, providing viewers with an opportunity to appreciate both the technical prowess behind its creation and the profound spiritual significance it holds within St Mary Redcliffe Church.
