John Bryant Lane

Lane was bestowed a gold medal from the Society of Arts for an historical cartoon of The Angels Unbound.

In 1817, his patron sent Lane to Rome, where he remained for ten years, engaged on a gigantic picture, The Vision of Joseph, which he refused to show during progress.

[1] Lane then sent the picture to London, where he exhibited it in a room at the royal mews, Charing Cross.

Among his sitters were Hussey Vivian, Davies Gilbert, Charles Valentine Le Grice, and Lord de Dunstanville.

Lane died, unmarried, at 45 Clarendon Square, Somers Town, London, on 4 April 1868, aged 80.
