E. H. Wehnert

Edward Henry Wehnert (1813–1868) was an English-born painter of landscape, genre and historical subjects, now best remembered for his illustrations in books and magazines.

While in Jersey he taught John Everett Millais, shortly before the youngster left to pursue his art education in London, and also painted some topographical views.

[2] Wehnert then returned to England himself after joining the recently founded New Society of Painters in Watercolours, to the exhibitions of which he was subsequently a constant contributor.

[4] His drawings were all of an historical character, among the best being "Luther reading his Sermon to some Friends", "The Death of Wickliffe" (1846),[5] "George Fox preaching in a tavern"[6] and "Caxton examining the first proof sheet from his press" (1850).
