 JOS

JUP

associate of the Academy. He drew the llustrations for a serial publication of Shakespeare's works, commenced in 1824. But his practice was as a portrait painter, and he found his chief employment in that branch of art. There is a portrait by him of Mr. Spencer Perceval in the National Portrait dallery. He retired to Cambridge in 1834, and died there in 1846, having continued an occasional exhibitor at the Academy up to that year. He was buried in St. Michael's Churchyard.

JOSEPH, Samuel, U.S.A., sculptor. He was a son of the treasurer of St. John's, Cambridge, and cousin to the foregoing. Commenced as a pupil of P. Rouw, and studied at the Academy, in 1815 obtaining the gold medal for his group of ' Eve sup- plicating Forgiveness.' Alter practising for some time m London, exhibiting yearly at the Academy busts and portrait me- dallions, he removed in 18*23 to Edinburgh, where he met with great encouragement, and was elected a member of the Royal Scottish Academy. He was induced in 1828 to return to London, and settled in Great George Street, but did not meet with the support he had been led to expect. After the first year his contributions to the Academy were few, and ceased alto- gether after 1846. He died in London in 1850. He found his chief employment as a modeller of busts, and executed bv com- mand in 1830 a bust of George IV. His likenesses were accurate, and his work tasteful and well finished. There is a fine full-length characteristic statue by him of Wilberforce ? in Westminster Abbey, and a statue of Sir David Wilkie, R.A., in the vestibule of the National Gallery.

J OS I, Christian, engraver. Was born in Holland, and coming early to this country, he studied his art under J. R. Smith. He engraved and published many fac-similes of Dutch drawings, but early abandoned the more active pursuit of art, and possessing great knowledge, found

Srofitable employment as a restorer and ealer in engravings and drawings. He died in London about 1825. His son, Henri Josi, was appointed keeper of the prints and drawings m the British Museum, and held that office till his death, in 1845, in his 43rd year.

JOY, Thomas Muxjrave. subject paint- er. Was born in 1812, at Boughton, Min- chelsea, Kent, where his father possessed property. An only son, fond of art, and allowed to choose for himself, he came to London, and was the pupil of Drummond, A.R.A. He first exhibited at the Society of British Artists in 1832 ; and at the Aca- demy in 1833, and continuing to exhibit at both these institutions, he early made himself known. In 1841 he received some commissions from the Queen, and painted 244

for her Majesty portraits of the Prince and Princess of Wales. With occasionally a

Sortrait, in 1842 he exhibited at the Aca- emy, 'Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme ;' in 1853, 'A Medical Consultation;' in 1863, ' Prayer ; ' and among his last works — an important attempt — ' The Meeting at Tattersall's before the Race, 1 1864. He died of bronchitis, after a short illness, April 7, 1866.

JOY, William, ) marine painters.

JOY, John Cantilob. \ Their father was guard to the Yarmouth coach. William was born in 1803, John Cantiloe in 1806. They practised for many years in Yarmouth, working almost invariably together, and painting both in oil and water-colours, but chiefly in the latter. Self-taught and in- dependent, they thoroughly understood the trim and rigging of vessels, and their works are deservedly esteemed. In 1824, and again in 1832, William was an exhibitor at the Royal Academy. Leaving their native town, where many of their works are trea- sured:, they lived, some time in London, and then removed to Chichester, where they both died, within a short time of each other, in 1857.

JUDKIN, The Rev. T. K., amateur. He was for many years minister of the Episcopal Chapel at Somers Town, and was known in art by his clever landscapes, usually painted direct from nature. He was an occasional exhibitor at the Aca- demy from 1822 to 1848. He died in October 1871, aged 83.

JUDKINS, Elizabeth, mezzo-tint en- graver. Practised in London in the second half of the 18th century. She engraved some fine works after Reynolds — 'Mrs. Abington,' 1772 ; • The careful Shepherd,' 1775 * and also after Cotes.

JUKES, Francis, painter and en-

f raver. Bom at Martley, Worcestershire, le began art as a topographical landscape painter, but by great perseverance raised himself to much distinction as an aqua-tint engraver. This art he brought to great perfection ; and by tinting his impressions, gave them the effect of drawings. His works, which are principally sea-pieces and landscapes, are very numerous. He died in 1812, in his 66tn year. He engraved Walmesley's * Views in Ireland,' Nichol- son's ' Views in England,' and was employed on Gilpin's works.

JUNE, John, engraver. Practised about the middle of the 18th century. He engraved some portraits and portrait front- ispieces for books, also some landscapes after Collettj and some scenes after Ho- garth; and in 1770, 'Race-horses,' after Sartorius.
