EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the remains of a monument discovered in the East Wall and a piscina in the South Aisle of St James's Church in Bristol. The artwork, created by William W. Wheatley, showcases his exceptional talent with pencil and watercolor on paper. The image transports us to this historic church, where fragments of an ancient monument stand as silent witnesses to centuries gone by. The intricate details of crosses and inscriptions reveal the deep religious significance that once adorned these sacred walls. As we gaze upon this painting, we are reminded of the enduring power of Christianity and its influence on art and architecture throughout history. The broken pieces evoke a sense of mystery, inviting us to imagine what this monument may have looked like in its complete form. The presence of a piscina adds another layer to our exploration, symbolizing purification within the Christian faith. Its location in the South Aisle suggests it was used for ritualistic purposes or perhaps served as a place for clergy members to cleanse themselves before performing sacred duties. Thanks to Wheatley's skillful brushwork, every detail is meticulously captured – from each fragmentary element to the weathered texture on these ancient surfaces. This artwork serves as both a visual record and an homage to St James's Church's rich heritage. Displayed at Bristol Museum and Art Gallery, this remarkable piece stands as part of William Jerdone Braikenridge's bequest from 1908 – preserving not only artistic excellence but also historical treasures for generations to come.
