	John Linnell - LoveToKnow 1911
		JOHN LINNELL (1792-1882), English painter, was born in London on the 16th of June 1792.
		His father being a carver and gilder, Linnell was early brought into contact with artists, and when he was ten years old he was drawing and selling his portraits in chalk and pencil.
		Linnell was able to command very large prices for his pictures, and about 1850 he purchased a property at Redhill, Surrey, where he resided till his death on the 10th of January 1882, painting with unabated power till within the last few years of his life.

	Chapter II of Story's "Life of John Linnell"
		Linnell always gratefully remembered these acts of kindness of the veteran artist, and seems to have derived considerable benefit from his advice and instruction, although he was never greatly struck with his laboured and somewhat lifeless compositions.
		It must have been a lively society into which John Linnell was thus suddenly thrown, and in the midst of which he spent much of the next few years of his life, for he remained a member of the Varley circle long after he had finished his studies under its head.
		John Varley's house, Linnell used to say, was a regular school of boxing; everyone practised it, and Varley himself and Mulready used to have great bouts with the gloves.

	Midday - Sheep at Noon. by John Linnell, 1792-1882
		John Linnell made his reputation as a landscape painter, but he was also a very important patron to Blake.
		Linnell was a passionate admirer of Blake, and when Blake was seeking money to help with the completion and issue of the series of engravings for the Book of Job Linnell was in a position to offer enthusiastic monetary support, bearing the costs of the publication.
		Linnell had always been an enthusiastic supporter of etching and engraving as media, but very few of his own prints express his pastoral vision, which was so close to that of Palmer.

		The Saviour is represented standing on the bank of the stream, and John the Baptist in the water, holding a branch with his left hand; the figure of a dove appears in a ray of light above.
		Some years after this picture was painted Linnell saw at the National Gallery the original, the description of which had suggested his own; but it was so different that no one would suppose that the one was in any way the outcome of the other.

	ART; JOHN LINNELL: PORTRAITS AND LANDSCAPES - New York Times
		VISITORS to the John Linnell show at the Yale Center for British Art in New Haven might suppose initially that the artist is yet another star in the golden age of English landscape.
		But Linnell (1792-1882), being 20 or more years younger than Turner, Constable and the lesser stars and passing his formative years in an England cut off from the Continent by war, is really another proposition entirely.
		Linnell, says Miss Crouan, was a strong believer in ''the supremacy of the individual,'' and found ''the congregation of artisans and tradesmen a sympathetic social group and a large potential market for portraits.'' How it squared with the distaste for graven images (popery) central to hard-core British Protestantism can only be conjectured.

	Introduction to the Life of John Linnell
		John Linnell always condemned the method in portrait-painting; and if he could be consulted now as to the way in which the story of his life should be told, he would undoubtedly say, 'Describe me exactly as I was.'
		At the time that Linnell first saw the light, Gainsborough had been dead four years, John Crome was in his twenty-third year, and George Morland in his twenty-ninth, while Cozens in two years more was to close his career in the madhouse.
		The two latter, among Linnell's contemporaries, were the least mannered or conventional, and to them he is allied by the fidelity with which he interprets the spirit of the landscape.

		Linnell commissioned a series of watercolor designs to be published as engravings from Dante's Divine Comedy (of which only seven were engraved at the time of Blake's death) and a set of watercolors and engravings, Illustrations of the Book of Job (1826), which were based on watercolors that Blake created earlier for Thomas Butts.

		We may see in his judgments on the Old Masters what was Linnell's aim, in his later art, in the works that proceeded from his brush when he could devote himself freely to the form of art he loved best.

		English poet, painter, engraver, and visionary mystic whose hand-illustrated series of lyrical and epic poems, beginning with Songs of Innocence (1789) and Songs of Experience (1794), form one of the most strikingly original and independent bodies of work in the Western cultural tradition.
		Linnell also commissioned Blake's designs for Dante's Divine Comedy, begun in 1825 and left unfinished at his death.
		He demands an explanation from God, but he does not do it at all in the spirit in which [John] Hampden might demand an explanation from Charles I. He does it in the spirit in which a wife might demand an explanation from her husband whom she really respected.

		Blake advertised these books and other engravings for sale in a prospectus of 1793, but at such low cost that he lived in near poverty during these years, suffering from chronic nervous anxieties, alternating bouts of irritability and grandiosity, and a growing reputation as a dilatory, unreliable worker and a religious crank.
		Linnell introduced Blake to John Varley and John Constable, and formed (with Samuel Palmer and other artists) a small brotherhood of Blake admirers called "The Ancients." Blake was working on Linnell's commission to illustrate Dante's Divine Comedy when he died at home in 1827, at age 70.
		Throughout his career, Blake used watercolors to tint the illustrations and text of his engraved books, which he made by etching away the whites of the copper plate rather than the inked areas (not unlike the method used in woodblock printing).
