Artist

G. Jones

G. Jones is a Romanticism artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

G. Jones left behind a tiny legacy: a stack of crisp, satirical prints sold in London print shops in the 1810s. He seems to have had a sharp eye for the absurd, hiding political jokes in crowds, fashion, and everyday scenes. His prints are where Georgian London’s backstage gossip meets fine art, so start with his 1 August 1815 crowd scene, look for the fellow in the tricorn hat mid-yawn.
