EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the awe-inspiring sight of a whale's rib nestled within the majestic north aisle of St Mary Redcliffe. Painted with exquisite detail on paper by Joseph Manning, this artwork is a testament to his artistic prowess and attention to intricate elements. The sheer size and curvature of the whale's rib evoke a sense of wonder, as it stands tall amidst the grandeur of the church interior. Its presence serves as a reminder of nature's magnificence and its ability to inspire even within sacred spaces. The medieval architecture surrounding the rib adds an ethereal touch, transporting viewers back in time to an era when such marvels were revered. The gothic arches and ornate carvings create a harmonious juxtaposition between man-made craftsmanship and natural beauty. Whalebone has long been associated with ecclesiastical art, symbolizing strength, resilience, and spirituality. This painting pays homage to that tradition while also showcasing Manning's skillful use of watercolors to bring life to this unique subject matter. Displayed at Bristol Museum and Art Gallery in the UK since its bequest by William Jerdone Braikenridge in 1908, this artwork continues to captivate visitors with its blend of religious symbolism and natural wonders. It serves as a poignant reminder that art can transcend boundaries - both temporal and spiritual - leaving us in awe of our world's rich history.
