"John Henry: A Multifaceted Artist and Enigmatic Figure" Step into the world of John Henry, a man whose artistic prowess spanned various mediums and subjects. From a captivating jigsaw puzzle depicting golfers on Prestwick golf course in Scotland circa 1914 to the intricate Beechlands creation by John Henry Hurdis in Newick back in 1835, his talent knew no bounds. Delve deeper into his portfolio, and you'll encounter thought-provoking pieces like "The Massacre of the Innocents, " showcasing his mastery of pencil, pen, and brown ink. Another intriguing work portrays an old woman adorned with a rosary cursing a seated man; some speculate it could be Queen Margaret's curse upon the Duke of Gloucester. In exploring human emotions through art, it also delved into themes such as love. His piece titled "Sapphic Love" beautifully captures this sentiment using pencil and pen alongside brown ink. Conversely, he explored darker realms with "A Woman Swooning at a Writing Table, " where a threatening figure lurks behind her. Not limited to figurative works alone, John Henry ventured into other genres too. In "A Nude Throwing, " he skillfully employed pen and brown ink to depict movement frozen in time. Meanwhile, enigmatic sketches like "Satan (?)" leave viewers pondering their hidden meanings. Yet amidst these diverse creations lies unexpected beauty within watercolor masterpiece "A Gleam of Light" from 1891—a testament to John Henry's versatility as an artist. Beyond his own artwork, it also paid homage to notable figures like Cardinal Newman through engravings or oil paintings that immortalized their essence for generations to come. Lastly, we glimpse Michelangelo's influence in one of his works titled "Haman. " Executed with precision using pen and grey ink techniques reminiscent of the Renaissance master himself—John Henry proves himself capable of capturing the essence of great artists who came before him.
