Sydney John Bunney

Sydney John Bunney (1877 – 24 April 1928) was an English late Impressionist artist who left over 500 drawings of early 20th-century Coventry.

[7] Bunney's work as an artist matured under the influence of William Milnes, who became the headmaster at Coventry School of Art in 1906.

[8] Milnes encouraged students to follow the example of Turner by taking quick sketches under differing conditions.

His body of work records the city as a market town, the streets lined with red-brick and half-timbered shops and houses.

[12] He later became a cashier at the Auto Machinery Company Limited in Coventry and lived at 154 Albany Road, Earlsdon.
