Exhibited at his London retrospective at The Mall Galleries in June 1988. Signed and dated (October 1973) by the artist in the far bottom left corner. Size: painting – 36in x 52in / frame – 40in x 59in. No tears or marks that we can see on the canvas, and likewise no apparent repairs anywhere on the surface, front or rear. It seems to be in fine, gallery condition. The molded wood frame (which has some age, though we are not sure how much) is likewise in nice shape, with just a couple of minor nicks or blemishes to the edges. This imposing and beautifully executed painting by English artist Terence Cuneo depicts the SS Great Britain being renovated in dry dock in Bristol in 1973 (the work is dated October’73). The size (36in x 52in) and grandeur of this splendid piece is something to behold. It was one of the works selected by Cuneo himself to be exhibited at the artist’s major retrospective at The Mall Galleries, London, in 1988, receiving a full-page write-up and reproduction in the catalogue. A copy of this catalogue (in fine condition) is included with the piece. Cuneo appreciators will know that he painted a mouse into each of his pictures, and this one is no exception. See if you can spot it! This is one of the largest Cuneo paintings to appear on the market. The SS Great Britain was successfully renovated after being salvaged from Sparrow Cove in the Falkland Islands, where she had been rotting for over 50 years.
