EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate and detailed Monument to William Canynges in St Mary Redcliffe. Created by John Carter, a renowned artist from the 18th century, this pencil and watercolor on paper piece is now housed at the Bristol Museum and Art Gallery in the UK. The monument pays homage to William II Canynges, an influential English merchant and shipper who flourished during his time. Known for his immense wealth and occasional financial support of royalty, Canynges held prestigious positions such as Mayor of Bristol five times and Member of Parliament for Bristol three times. Carter's skillful rendering captures every nuance of this remarkable effigy. The drawing beautifully portrays the tomb with its exquisite details, showcasing both artistic talent and historical significance. It serves as a testament to Canynges' significant contributions to society. Displayed against a backdrop of St Mary Redcliffe, one cannot help but be captivated by the painting's charm. The soft colors used in watercolor add depth to Carter's meticulous pencil work, creating a harmonious blend that brings life to this historic scene. Thanks to the generosity of William Jerdone Braikenridge's bequest in 1908, this artwork remains preserved for all art enthusiasts to admire at eBristol Museums, Galleries & Archives. Its presence not only commemorates an extraordinary individual but also offers us a glimpse into history through artistry.
