John Jewell Penstone : ウィキペディア英語版 | John Jewell Penstone John Jewell Penstone (1817–1902) was a portrait and genre artist who worked with paint, but is known mainly for his engravings, and has been associated with the Pre-Raphaelite movement. The National Portrait Gallery has two of his stipple engraving, and a lithograph (printed by Nosworthy & Wells). ==Biography== Penstone was born in Clerkenwell, London, to John Penstone (1792–1840) and Ann, a daughter of Joseph Jewell. Both of his parents were Quakers, but he joined the Plymouth Brethren when he was about 19 years old. He was involved in some of the religious controversies which caused splits in the Brethren movement during his lifetime, and by the death of his second wife he was disappointed with the way some members had behaved. In 1850 Penstone moved from Chelsea in London to Stanford in the Vale where his father and both grandfathers had been born. He was described as a "Bible scholar and Christian poet" in ''Chief Men among the Brethren'' but seems to have had an interest in secular subjects as well because in the late 1850s he was an active contributor to Notes and Queries on literary, artistic and historical subjects.〔 cites J.J. Penstone, "Was Addison a plagiarist?", ''Notes and Queries'' series 2. ii.29 (July 1856), p. 49; "Pictures of Raffaelle in England, and in what collections?", ''Notes and Queries'' series 2. ii.33 (Aug 1856), p. 130; "Forged Assignats", ''Notes and Queries'' series 2. vi. 137 (Aug 1858), pp. 134–5). Stunt also notes, "There are many other contributions to NQ, in later years, that are signed 'JJP' and which show a familiarity with jurisprudence but we cannot be sure that they are the work of (Jewell Penstone )."〕 Penstone was friends with John Dunkin (1812–1879). He contributed "A visit to the village church of Stanford in the vale, whilst undergoing restoration" to Dunkin's ''Monumenta Anglicana'', and provided Dunkin with information about the opening of King John’s tomb in Worcester Cathedral in 1797.〔 cites .〕 Although he enjoyed working in this area he was never more than an interested amateur, as he earned his living as an artist.
