EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures the majestic Berkeleys Monument, situated by the altar steps of St Marks. Painted with watercolors on paper by Joseph Manning, this artwork is a testament to his exceptional talent and attention to detail. The monument stands as a symbol of religious devotion and pays homage to the knightly legacy of the Berkeleys. With its intricate gothic design, the sculpture exudes an air of solemnity and reverence. The armor-clad effigy rests atop a mortuary sarcophagus, creating a striking visual contrast between life and death. Every brushstroke brings out the fine details in this funerary masterpiece, showcasing Manning's mastery over his craft. As we gaze upon this painting, we are transported back in time to an era where chivalry reigned supreme. The tomb serves as a reminder of the noble virtues that knights like those from House Berkeley upheld - bravery, honor, and loyalty. This print is not just a beautiful piece of art but also holds historical significance. It was generously bequeathed to Bristol Museum and Art Gallery by William Jerdone Braikenridge in 1908. Now preserved for all to admire, it allows us to appreciate both Manning's skillful rendering and the rich cultural heritage embodied within Berkeleys Monument.
