EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Bristol High Cross as it proudly stood in College Green back in 1763. The artist, George Holmes, skillfully captured the essence of this magnificent landmark using pencil and watercolor on paper. This artwork is now housed at the Bristol Museum and Art Gallery in the UK, thanks to a generous bequest from William Jerdone Braikenridge in 1908. The image transports us back to a bygone era when this Gothic-style civic monument dominated the landscape of College Green. Its intricate details and imposing presence are a testament to the rich medieval history of England. The high cross served not only as a symbol of religious significance but also as an important meeting point for locals and visitors alike. Holmes' painting perfectly captures the serene beauty of College Green, with its lush park surroundings providing a tranquil backdrop for this historic structure. The composition evokes a sense of nostalgia, inviting viewers to imagine themselves strolling through time amidst such architectural grandeur. This remarkable piece serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a valuable historical document that allows us to appreciate and preserve our British heritage. As we gaze upon this drawing, we are reminded of how art can transport us across centuries, connecting us with our past while inspiring future generations to cherish their cultural roots.
