EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite effigy of William Canynges in St Mary Redcliffe, a true testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of its time. Created by John Carter in pencil and watercolor on paper, this artwork is housed in the esteemed Bristol Museum and Art Gallery. William II Canynges, depicted here, was an influential English merchant and shipper from Bristol during the 14th century. Renowned as one of the wealthiest private citizens of his era, he also played a significant role as an occasional royal financier. His dedication to public service is evident through his five terms as Mayor of Bristol and three stints as MP for Bristol. The effigy itself exudes a sense of grandeur and power. It captures Canynges' commanding presence with remarkable attention to detail. The artist's skillful portrayal brings forth not only his physical features but also hints at his strong character and influence within society. Displayed alongside this striking effigy is another equally impressive sculpture on reverse – a fascinating juxtaposition that adds depth to this artistic masterpiece. Thanks to the generosity of William Jerdone Braikenridge's bequest in 1908, we can now appreciate this exceptional piece without any restrictions or limitations. This photograph serves as a reminder of our rich history while honoring the legacy left behind by individuals like William Canynges who shaped their communities with their vision and accomplishments.
