Isaac Jehner

Jehner painted an altarpiece in Saltash which set him up for further work at the important Bristol church of St Mary, Redcliffe.

Whilst there he set up a shop in Bath but he received a more regular income by working for the Polygraphic Society in Woolwich.

[1] This society created copies of oil paintings at a reduced cost by partially printing the design which they sold at Schomberg House in Pall Mall.

[1] Jehner's life was recorded in a short 1806 auto-biography called "Fortune's Football: An autobiography for children" which was ascribed to "Isaac Jenner".

[5] Jehner died in 1818 leaving many engravings of his own work as well as many based on paintings by other notable artists like Pieter Bruegel the Elder, Hogarth, William Parry and Antonio da Correggio.
