Clifton Suspension Bridge

We've hit heat number three in this series of Landscape Artist of the Year, and we're heading to Bristol to capture one of the country's most iconic structures – the Clifton Suspension Bridge. Based on a design by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, the bridge was opened in 1864 - five years after Brunel's death. The bridge was completed as a monument to him and marks a turning point in the history of engineering. Seen by Bristolians as a celebration of original thinkers and independent spirit, what better inspiration for our latest batch of artists as they look to do Brunel's "first child" justice on canvas.
